Martin John - possible call up?

[section114row20]

Who is Martin John?

Does anyone know anything about this guy? He plays for Cardiff City and although he was born in London, UK, he grew up in Ottawa. According to his wikipedia he used to play for the Ottawa Fury as well. He's only 22. How come he hasn't been involved with our youth set up? You'd think he'd at least get a U-23 call up.

We have heard his name from time to time and are tracking him in the Mother of All Canadians Thread. I am not sure if he has done enough to get a look yet from Hart. But he is definitely eligible to play for Canada.

Here's a story about a possible transfer to Colorado Rapids:

This move would definitely put him of Hart's radar. You can never have too many left backs.

He's an '88 so he's not eligible for the current U23 cycle.

I wouldn't call up a guy that has played one league cup match and Conference matches. I didn't see him play but he doesn't have the experience and it's not like he's good enough to play for Cardiff. He's an ok player but I'd prefer a guy playing regularly in MLS than him right now.
