On Thursday, the Cleveland Gladiators announced they were assigned WR Dominick Goodman.

Goodman, 29, returns for his sixth season with the Gladiators, looking to extend his franchise records in receptions (727), receiving yards (7,280), and touchdowns (132). During his five-year career, Goodman has earned All-Arena honors twice, including being named First-Team All-Arena in 2014 when the Gladiators went on their historic 17-1 regular season that ended with an appearance in ArenaBowl XXVII. ‘Goodie’ also earned Second-Team All-Arena honors in 2012.

“It’s great to have Goodie back with us for another season,” Head Coach Steve Thonn said. “Dominick’s numbers speak for themselves. His positive attitude, leadership skills, and relationships he builds with his teammates add to the culture we have been able to build here.”

The sure-handed 6’1”, 210 lb. Cincinnati native known as "Goodie" played his high school ball at Colerain High School in Cincinnati, OH, where he earned All-America honors while leading the Cardinals to a Division One State Championship and a #5 national ranking. He followed up a stellar high school career by playing college ball at the University of Cincinnati, where he currently ranks fourth on the Bearcats career receiving list with 120 receptions.
