Professional
[edit]Prior to playing professionally, Kodelja played in the Pacific Coast Soccer League, playing at least the 1969–70 season with Columbus F.C.[2] In 1974, he signed with the Vancouver Whitecaps in the team's inaugural season in the league. In 1976, he moved to the San Antonio Thunder. At the end of the season, the team moved to Hawaii where it became Team Hawaii in 1977. In 1978, he was back on the mainland with the San Jose Earthquakes; 1981 with the Calgary Boomers; 1982 and 1983 with the Toronto Blizzard; and 1984 with the Chicago Sting. He remained with the Sting when the team moved to the Major Indoor Soccer League following the collapse of the NASL.
National team
[edit]Kodelja played eight times for Canada from 1974 through 1977. He debuted for the national team on 12 April 1974 in a scoreless draw versus Bermuda in Hamilton, Bermuda. His final cap came on 12 October 1977 in a 2–1 victory over Suriname in Mexico City, being replaced by Brian Budd at half time.[1]
