CanadaFan123 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 15 year old made his pro debut for Ottawa Fury tonight. I believe that makes him the third youngest Canadian pro after Phonz and Marshall-Rutty. Anyone know anything about this kid? He was just signed a few weeks ago but how has he not been called to the U17s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still be on the team, just not for this camp. As the old saying goes: "the younger the better" it's exciting to see him getting debut minutes for Ottawa!

Kent Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I hadn't heard of him before this morning, but according to this he is a midfielder. https://www.ottawafuryfc.com/antoine-coupland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 As long as these kind of kids are found and not missed by a pro club we’re trending in the right direction. BCM, apbsmith, Ruffian and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many opportunities he'll get this season but good on Popovic for bringing him on late last night especially as the team was 4-0 up. I think a lot of friends/family were at the stadium which might have helped. Edited July 21, 2019 by JamboAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been on trial with a couple German clubs recently. I believe that Eintracht Frankfurt was the other club. With the Fury folding he's probably looking for a team, so it's likely that they're trials rather than just training stints. He probably has a European passport considering that he has had European trials in the past. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more likely, given the CPL has increased the minutes requirements for U-21 players. He also didn't get much time this year because every game meant so much with their season being a month-long tournament instead of a 6-month-long season.

archer21 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I haven’t really seen Coupland play. For anyone who has, how good of a prospect is he really? Must be skilled if he was given a couple run outs with Fury at 15. Is he more of a passer, dribbler, does he beat defenders with pace? I always just assumed he was an attacking midfielder based on his size, is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 When I seen him at the island games, I thought he look like what he was. A boy playing against men. He looked nervous on the ball, was easily muscled off the ball I wasn’t impressed by that game, however I’ll assume that it was a bad game for him and that he’s wasn’t just a very fortunate 15yo. I also saw why he didn’t make the U17 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantic Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 He is definitely trialing. In October he said that exploring options in Europe might be something he considers. https://www.ledroit.com/2021/10/30/trop-peu-trop-tard-pour-coupland-298c32aa92ec11791609d51f692fe4eb johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
