Evan Smith takes the leap from the BU18 Metro team to Wales, UK. Evan has been signed for the remainder of the playing season with a Cardiff area club, Methyr Tydfil FC.  He will play for the club's academy in the English FA South West Counties League with the U18's and in the Welsh FA U19 youth league.  He is currently attending, full time, Merthyr College as part of the University of Glamorgan, studying the FA's Football Management programme.  He is also playing on the college team in the British Universities/Colleges Sport (BUCS) League.  He will complete his Canadian Grade 12 studies through distance learning. Recently Evan was called up to the Welsh U18 International trials and received an "Olympic Development Program" (ODP) nomination through the USL Super-Y program where he was a stand-out player.  Due to his signing in Wales Evan will not be able to make the ODP training this March in Florida.

Supporting Evan in working towards his goals, his mother and younger brother Jeremy (BU14 metro) will join him in Wales for six months.  In addition to supporting his brother Jeremy  will be playing soccer in Wales and has trials scheduled in England. 

Good Luck to Evan and Jeremy!
