Coombes to a one year contract extension.
Coombes who lead the scoring for the Santa Clarita based Men's team
of the National Premier Soccer League. Coombes combined for a total
of 32 points with 15 goals and 2 assist in 12 games last season for
the Storm. “Tyler sparks the offensive attack in almost every
game”. Brunner went on to say, Last season Coombes and his counter
part Alex Harlley an
outside midfielder played off each other a lot. The goals most anyway
where assisted by Harlley. They played off each other very well,
Brunner said. They were a one two punch combination that was very
successful. “That's how you can tell they
know how to do their jobs is when one is a Scoring leader and the
other an assist leader.” Coombes a forward
with speed and tactical and technical skill that makes him a threat
to each team he faces.
Soccer began early for
Tyler in youth club level and grew up with it to the High School and
College game. At high school Tyler in his
Sophomore year, Junior, and varsity captured the MVP award
and played at the Varsity level in both his Junior and Senior years.
Received first team all League honors in his Junior year as well as
Defensive player of the year. Tyler really came to his own in his
senior year when capturing MVP, Golden Boot Award Captain of his team
First Team All League, MVP of Senior All Star Game.
At Cal State LA College in
2009 had the goal of the year award and signed in 2010 with the
Lancaster Rattlers of the Untied Soccer Leagues the former Storm when
they where located in the Antelope Valley,. The level of play in the
fourth division of US Soccer didn't slow Tyler down at all in 2010
he started all 16 games of the season and came back in 2011 as the
Rattlers joined the National Premier Soccer League and changed the
name to Rattlers FC where Tyler was leading the Team as Captain and
was the leading score and tied in Assist. The Team then moved to
Santa Clarita and was re branded as the Santa Clarita Storm and in
2012 Tyler Again lead his team in scoring and goals. And actually did
lead the team to the playoffs. In the finial game of the 2012 season
the Storm faced a big Challenge, they where one win away from a play
off spot competing with the Fullerton Rangers. The only thing that
stood in their way was the Undefeated San Diego Flash the Conference
leaders and have been unbeatable all year. The Storm lead at half
time with a Goal from Coombes, Harlley and Martin Galvan

3-0 lead was not enough to
be secure against a team like the Flash, as they bounced back and
tied the game. The Storm was a must win situation as they now faced
possible play-off elimination. With that in mind the combination of
Harlley and Coombes came alive as a pass from Harlley to Coombes who
out maneuvered the Flash keeper and lead the team to a 4-1 win and to
the playoffs for he first time in the clubs six year history. When
asked of Head Coach Jose Meza what it meant to the team to re-sign
his top scorer “ He is important to the team, he is a good player
that is ready for the next level. He scored a good part of the goals
for us last season, so he is very important that we re-sign him”
Coombes said about his
signing
