NEW Mother of all Canucks Abroad (and domestic)

[Blackjack15]

Marco Bustos has signed for the OKC Energy in the USL

Meaning he has ended his loan in Mexico and parted ways with the Whitecaps 

CPL Bound -> Valour FC

Sorry I guess I only looked at the adults abroad list.  All those guys in divisions 7/9/18 made my head spin, I must have missed it.

Leotrim Reka has left RSC Anderlecht U-19 and gone to KV Mechelen where he is with the reserves. Also appears as though he has joined the Kosovo U-19.

He has been released by Korona Kielce.

Manny Aparicio has signed with San Roque de Lepe of Spanish 4th tier. That is Division 10 of Tercera, in western Andalusia. 

If you recall he was released by Izarra in early July.

That is strawberry country in southern Spain. From what they say he has been on trial for a while, and was signed this week, did not appear on the roster for last week's season opener.

Yes, good find. I saw Socuellamos a few years ago in a promotion tie vs. Europa to go up to third tier, where they were for 3 years, then dropped again. Only reason I know them, as the town and area are relatively unknown. Very physical team I recall, not too technical, a lot of veterans. Maybe they've changed.

 Last year a stoppage time penalty against impeded them becoming a 3rd tier team again, they tend to get good results and are vying for a promotion again.

They play in Group 18 of Spanish Tercera, 4th tier, which is the group of teams from La Mancha. Not a very strong division as the population is fairly low out there.

Chaim Roserie is on loan to Novelda CF in the Spanish 4th tier.

Thanks, as usual Toje is amazing. As someone mentioned last year, he has stated he is more interested in playing for the States, I don't know his current thinking. The press here calls him Canadian.

I don't think he got any minutes after signing for Alcoyano last year midseason, I may be wrong; he is young still and had problems with papers as well. Maybe at Novelda, a division lower, he'll do better, the team is strong enough to fight for a promotion into 2B. They are in the Valencia region group, the level is high.

Novelda, oddly enough, merged with another club this summer, liquidated itself, and then the Spanish Federation disallowed the move and basically obliged them to continue competing.

The Instagram page of Andrew Lebre has just changed, now appearing a reference to Nicosia, Cyprus. That is new, no other news I can find though.

https://www.instagram.com/andrewlebre14/?hl=en

Edit: was checking Cypriot sites in my best Greek and I see on August 31 an international transfer request for him was put in from the Cypriot federation to the Portuguese, as I believe Lebre has a Portuguese passport. 

re-edit: I have a suspicion he could be going to 2nd division PAEEK.

Word is he is playing in 3rd division in Cyprus, and is pleased with the change, but I do not know the team yet.

Got it, thanks to a fellow Voyageur. Andrew Lebre is playing for Ethnikos Assias in 3rd tier Cyprus. They play in a fairly large stadium in Nicosia, 16,000 capacity, and relegated last year. Here is the pic from his Instagram page. Cyprus just started the season last week.

Is there someone other than busti in a academy in Italy with the name Alessandro. My brother was telling me about a kid who was at his school last year age (17/18) named allesandro who was trying to play professional in Italy. 

[Semaj8james]

Alessandro Impiduglia? Used to play with him but I think he's still in Canada or doesn't play anymore. Could be wrong.

[Semaj8james]

Alejandro Vasquez has moved from playing in Chile to playing in Italy. I'll ask him which team. He's not too far from me so I might even hang out with him at some point and catch up. Used to play in Brazil at Cruzeiro with him (and Andrew).

Andres Fresenga is now back in Uruguay. He has returned to his former club Cerro Largo (2nd tier)

I hope it's fine to post the following message here. If you believe it doesn't belong on the V forum please let me know and I will ask the admins to remove it.

After many years of running Canucks Abroad and this thread with a small team of dedicated volunteers (that include many Voyageurs) I have decided to launch our project on Patreon. Basically it's just an opportunity for stakeholders who use our services to give back financially to compensate us for the countless hours we have invested in keeping the database up to date and the twitter monster fed.

Feel free to check out our Patreon page here: . Please note the database  "Mother Of All Canadians Abroad List" will remain intact, and it's the exact same one we use on our website.

We've also updated www.canucks-abroad.ca recently if that's of interest. Some of you have heard that we launched a #CanPL discord a while ago. It's a little thriving community, feel free to check it out as well.

Happy tracking and see you next Tuesday!

Jordan Farahani, formerly of Hottur and IR in Iceland, recently captained the Saskatoon Revolution to a bronze at the Challenge Trophy.

Have to wonder if a player like him is holding out hope for the CPL.
