harrycoyster Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Former USMNT u18 winger who is currently 21. Has played in the last few preseason games at Panetolikos in the Greek Super League. Born in Moncton, he reportedly turned down a u20 CMNT call up in 2015. Seems that he left UCSB (NCAA D1) to sign in Greece ahead of his senior year. He is expected to see a good amount of the field in Greece this season. A former 4 star prospect on TopDrawerSoccer, his stock has cooled significantly in college. He moved from Michigan to UCSB for playing time before signing off a trial in Greece this summer. Was a round 3-4 MLS draft prospect. Edited August 2, 2017 by harrycoyster Bison44, nolando, hamiltonfan and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what he's made of first. It's not uncommon that senior NCAA players sign short-term contracts in Europe during summer trials. Most are back in the States in a year's time. The fact that he has been getting time in the preseason is promising, but his NCAA career is troubling and may point to this being another "wonder trial" situation. The lower end Greek teams aren't in great financial shape and generally fill out their rosters with trialists. If he is going to stay he needs to make an impact.

harrycoyster Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 According to a pretty reputable USYNT guru on r/MLS: "The Canadian-American signed a professional contract with Panetolikos in the Greek top division in August. He has been released after refusing to go on loan and is back in the states". So that's not great. hamiltonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried finding more information, but Greek Google Translate is awful and there isn't much info from Ahinga's side. He's removed all mention of his now ex-club from his Twitter page, so the information seems correct. Really sucks that he ended up ruining his chance of getting drafted into MLS like this.

Toje Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) He played in a friendly yesterday for Vlasim in the Czech Republic 2nd tier. On his instagram, he said that he has signed a 2 year contract. I have not found any other confirmation as of yet. I missed this one, but he played 3 matches for Bohemians Prague 1905 U21 side in May.

shamrock Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Soccerway has him listed as the goalscorer on the second one. (And as having US nationality, besides being born in Moncton.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toje Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 (edited) The Czech FA and Vlasim have Jan Pavlik as the goalscorer, so I think soccerway could be wrong. At the match, it looked like Selemani was the player behind the goalscorer. http://www.fcsbvlasim.cz/na-uvod-veze-vlasim-bod-z-prostejova/ https://www.fnliga.cz/clanek/4177-vlasim-vyrovnala-v-nastaveni-a-z-prostejova-si-odvezla-bod-za-remizu-2-2 Edited July 22, 2018 by Toje shamrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
