The agency representing Ollie Bassett (former Norther Ireland u-19 Attacking Midfielder) has confirmed that Ollie has signed with a team from the CPL.  The article doesn't mention which team it is.

He spent 2020 with a team in the New Zealand Football Championship (Top tier football for New Zealand), a semi-professional team in Australia, and then closed out the year with Nuneaton Borough (7th tier England).

im sure its valour

Speaking of Eikon, I noticed that Leotrim Reka is signed with them; I wonder if he could be headed back to Winnipeg.

Seems like valour had a connect to the agency and players from the new zeal and league.

I can see Mallan Roberts back at Fced with the Tusla connection to the GM and have a third CB / #6 to cover for injuries or Didic tries himself abroad

Just signed in Australia for Heidelberg United

x-posting from the other thread, Pasher move finally made official today by the Dynamo after first being broken by Jeff Rueter and the Athletic.

Suggests Ottawa. Seems logical. I wonder if Edmonton might actually be a decent fit if Zetterberg doesnt return.

Drew Beckie has interest in joining the cpl. Most teams could use him.

As these two didn't get selected (I believe), probably a good pick up for one of the CPL sides...Pacific would seem a possible beneficiary

Was just trying to cross reference. Just the two Canadians drafted this year right?

Thats the 2 I could find...I'm still trying to figure out who this Pass guy is.  2 CDN drafted, not the greatest, but both CB??  Hmmmmm, interesting.

Pass, as in the team passed on their selection?

Well, the CF Montreal pass was a Canadian in any sense. Don't know why you wouldn't take a kid on the board to make them feel good. Probably $$$ or the awkward phone call that they aren't coming to camp.

Of the 48, 9 of the players were previously drafted, including Bitar and Gardner who were drafted twice.  Plus Victor Loturi who played with Cavalry in 2019.

What's the cutoff for the U21 rule. Would Jonas Hakinnen squeeze in being born March 21, 1999?

This year it will be players born 2000 or later, so no. The math is the same as with youth national teams, i.e. the year of the season or tournament minus the age category, so 2021 - 21 = 2000

Thanks. That makes sense. That's too bad. I would have liked to see him at Pacific but I don't think we have space for him if he's not U21
