SCF08 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 RKC legt Canadese spits met Welsh roots vast 6/4/2006 13:10 Dylan Hughes heeft RKC Waalwijk kunnen overtuigen tijdens zijn stage. De Canadese spits met roots in Wales verdiende een contract voor twee jaar. Hughes mocht zich half maart bewijzen in een vriendschappelijke wedstrijd tegen UDI'19. De 21-jarige aanvaller maakte indruk op de technische staf van RKC, hetgeen geleid heeft tot een contract in Waalwijk. Voor zijn geboorteland Canada heeft Hughes negen duels als jeugdinternational op zijn naam staan. In die interlands deed hij drie keer van zich spreken. Maar ook bij Jong Wales - Hughes' vader is een geboren Welshman - heeft hij zijn opwachting gemaakt. Afgelopen seizoenen speelde Hughes, die een verblijf bij Newcastle United eindigde vanwege heimwee, in Duitsland. In de winterstop van 2004/05 verruilde hij de amateurs 1. FC Kaiserslautern voor Jahn Regensburg, dat uitkomt in de Regionalliga. Hughes is de derde nieuweling die zich komende zomer kan melden in Waalwijk. RKC contracteerde eerder al Martijn Reuser (Willem II) en Tim Janssen (PSV). Im from Holland so I obviously dont know who he is but he has played at youth level both for Canada and Wales. He has made 9 youth appearances for Canada scoring 3 times. RKC is in Holland a mid-table club so he is going to play for a decent club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Dylan Hughes did make several appearances for Canadian Youth teams, but never in a situation where he would be capped. It has been suggested that his preference is to play for Wales, but not sure if that has ever been confirmed. He did write an email to a Voyageur stating he hoped to play for Canada one day, but it appears that, possibly, "a better offer came along"? A theme becoming all too familiar lately.

RS Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Canada looks way more promising than Wales, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Observer Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I agree Rudi. With the squad we are putting together (with or without De Guzman the younger), we have a much better chance of qualifying for the next World Cup than Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I don't think he has been officially capped by either nation. Last year he was one of our better prospects at striker but many of his competitors have improved while his career has stalled. Even were he to commit to Canada I don't think he would be a sub at striker. He might get a call for a friendly to take a look but I think he is well down the depth chart at the moment.

john tv Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Gentlemen I am very dutch so i think i understand these Dutchmen and let me tell you our Canadians boys are subject to the most superb and highest of technical education in soccer. It is amazing and so sincere and so full of commitments it is a beaty but the Dutch don't know any better. They are amazing, but don't tell them, they won't understand, but in the meantime our guys are the beneficiarey. If you think I am pro Dutch which I am wait till these guys tell you who they are. It is beatifull and more. I better shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be 'well down the depth chart', but I'm (as I'm sure you are) still hoping we can cap him. It's early days for all these kids, and we need all the depth possible.

John is just living prove that even the Dutch aren't perfect, however, I'm the complete opposite kind of Dutchman, humble in every way.

Robert Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 quote:Originally posted by Rudi Where's the joke? Unlike you, I have faith in our young Canadian players. Faith in what? That we are an attractive opponent for countries like Trinidad, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and El Salvador to draw against in a World Cup qualifying group. Hey, just because my blood is Maple Leaf red, doesn't mean my judgement's clouded by wishful thinking. Internationally speaking our national program is Pathetic, with a capital P as in Pipe. I respect your right to have an opinion that differs. It's okay if you settle for less, it's not okay for me to settle for that standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
