Justin Detter (born August 8, 1982 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American soccer player, who currently plays striker for the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer. Detter played club soccer at Detroit club Vardar and then began his journey to playing professional soccer at the Bradenton Academy and with the U.S. U-17 national team. After graduating from Bradenton, Detter moved to college soccer at the University of Notre Dame, where he played from 2000 to 2003. Although Detter was a starter all four years at Notre Dame, he was not really a star until his senior season, when a move from midfield to forward resulted in a scoring explosion, as he registered 14 goals and 5 assists that year, and was named to the All-Big East first team. He finished his college career with 28 goals and 18 assists. Upon graduating, Detter was selected 47th overall in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft by the Wizards. He struggled to get playing time behind Josh Wolff, Davy Arnaud, and Matt Taylor, however, and finished the season with only 162 minutes over 6 games.
