On the morning of the opening of training camp ahead of FC Whitehorse's third season in the Canadian Soccer League, the team held a press conference to announce some roster moves. First, the Freezers made an additional free agency signing:
- Zako Schmit - GK - HUN - 18 y/o
Hungarian goalkeeper Zako Schmit spent last season as the starting goalkeeper in for Hungary's National U18 team, and is considered to be one of the top goalkeeping prospects in the world. The 18 year old signed a 5 year contract with FC Whitehorse, and is expected to be the favourite to win the starting job in net this year. The move likely spells the end of Zavala's time in Whitehorse, as the 20 year old reportedly put in a request to be moved away from the Freezers.
Additionally, popular midfielder Serginho has been sold by FC Whitehorse to Hungarian club Lokamotiv Buda for a $109,000 transfer fee. This begins the 32 year old's third stint with the Budapest side, having left that team to join the Freezers last season. Serginho played in 21 CSL matches last season with Whitehorse scoring 4 goals.
With the roster apparently settled, look forward to our upcoming preview of this upcoming season for the Freezers.
