NEW Mother of all Canucks Abroad (and domestic)

[Unnamed Trialist]

I was expecting Toje to post this, as he just sent me the tip by pm and some details, I researched it a bit more.

Spencer Hubble, who is a GISS academy player, signed in January for the u-19s of Leganés, in Spanish top flight. He is with their u-19 C team. I am not sure if he's played yet, so wondering if he's not 18 yet and can't.

Will start posting more on Bakr Abdelaoui, born Finland but raised Montreal, who we have listed correctly: he was also a GISS Academy player, signed for Getafe last spring, then for Leganés B in fourth tier start of this season. And is playing, more and more so, though I think he's a '97, so young, ,but if he is playing for the competitive reserve side of a La Liga club we should be paying more attention. He's a tricky mid from what I gather.

Looks like Hirschfeld has stopped playing and is now an assistant coach with KFUM. If it is indeed the end, congratulations on a great career with club and national team. Our best gk in the past 15 years.

I don't speak Italian but it looks like Zoom Langwa got some paperwork approved with Triestina.

Indeed, sounds like paperwork had been held up due to his age. But seems to have been resolved. He needed a Student Visa in order to comply with residency rules. (or something like that).

I don't think I've seen anyone mention but Marko Maletic's instagram says hes now with Hajduk Split.

Marco Carducci has signed with Rio Grande Valley FC. No official announcement, but he was listed on the club's roster for the 2017 season.

Good news for Monsalve. Maybe he can get back in the national team picture:

Swedish 3rd tier? Not likely. Surprised since i thought he'd do well back in the Veikkausliiga, which is a higher level.

[shermanator]

Yikes, that's a terrible level for Monsalve. If he's in the national team picture, then Crepeau, Farago, Carducci, Irving, Melvin, Roberts' careers have all gone south. Unfortunate that things went bad for him in Edmonton, if he had stayed healthy maybe he'd be playing at a better level 5 years later.

Husqvarna aren't a bad team in their division, and it's presumably a starting role there while he was signed by Turku as a backup.

[hamiltonfan]

My take, Monsalve signed out of necessity: first time minutes, ok level of play, and a pay check. I suspect he is keen on leveraging this experience to move up a league and quickly..perhaps the summer window.

Regarding standard of play:  Tier 3 (Division 1) Sweden is a level above USL Pro and would challenge mid-lower NASL clubs

Edited March 31, 2017 by hamiltonfan

[shamrock]

Yeah and they're a decent side, probably looking to move up. Always nicer to play for something positive than to void relegation (although the mindset shouldn't differ in fact, it probably does).

Karman Saini was also announced by Länk as having signed at Husqvarna a couple of weeks ago but that post looks to have been taken down and he doesn't appear on their site or others such as transfermarkt. He still is listed by an article of Ontario Soccer posted March 30th as signed to Husqvarna and on twitter says he has signed a pro contract.

Something fishy there. If I had to guess, something went wrong with Länk and he cut ties with them then signed elsewhere. Where he is now is the question.

 

 

[shermanator]

Not entirely sure if relevant, but Bruno Zebie (who has played for FC Edmonton during an emergency callup) will play for Calgary Foothills this year.

^fake news ; )

Seems like Saini is at Husqvarna by a pic of the last friendly (on the bench): http://www.husqvarnaff.se/nyheter/?ID=88560&NID=293454

2 Canadian keepers in a Swedish d3 team, wow...

Did he play for Edmonton Green & Gold? I think I watched him play for them at the 2016 Challenge Cup Nationals.

[Big_M]

Husqvarna FF has officially announced the signings of Karman Saini and Trevon Weatherall. There are now 3 Canadians there with David Monsalve.

@Fussball_eh Västerås SK is 3rd tier, listed as 2nd tier on the list.
