Friday August 28th, 2009....A phone call can change your life, from the minute you pick up and say hello, to the last words of talk to you later. This phone call was a special one that I have been hoping for ever since I got off the plane in Scotland, the one that would open the doors of opportunity. The coach of Cowdenbeath F.C asked me to come up to the club to sign a contract with the club on this day. I'd like to thank the people who have helped me on my journey and been behind me all the way, the support you give me is the drive that pushes me further everyday.
Today (Aug 29th) I dressed for my first game with my new club. Our opponents for today was East Fife at their stadium. A nice pitch on a clear day but very windy. When I walked into the changeroom today I loved the energy amongst the team and everyone was just happy that it was match day, the day where all your hard work from the week pays off. During the match I felt our team looked stronger. We got on the board first with a scramble infront of the goal from the corner kick in the first half. East Fife got themselves back in the game in the second half to give a final result of 1-1. I felt we should have claimed all 3 points, but that's how the game goes when you miss a couple chances. Despite being on the bench today, I really enjoyed the game day experience and just having a chance to mold with my teammates. As time goes by I will become stronger with those who choose to do battle with me on the park. I will keep you guys posted as the weeks go by. All the best.

I read about your signing when Dino up there posted about it on the Voyageurs board and pretty much had to stick it on my own website. Something about "Canadian soccer blogger living the dream in Scotland" speaks to this Canadian soccer blogger...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your signing. You may have heard Canada just lost a national goalkeeper - keep up the good work and you might take that job too!
Just saw your news posted on The Score's Footy Blog. Congrats! Best of luck this year!
