EDMONTON, AB - FC Edmonton announced, Nov. 19, the re-signing of defender and captain Albert Watson, pending league approval. As per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Watson, 30, has led the Eddies as captain since arriving in 2013 and led the team in minutes played last season with 2,464 in 28 North American Soccer League (NASL) appearances. The Northern Ireland native was a staple on an Eddies back line that finished the NASL Fall Season with the third-best goals against record behind New York Cosmos and Ottawa Fury FC.

"I'm really pleased Albert has re-signed with the club," FC Edmonton head coach Colin Miller stated. "He is one of the most experienced centre backs in the league and was one of my first signings at the club alongside Daryl Fordyce. He has now become a dad so I'm sure we will see a well-rounded Albert Watson this upcoming season."

FC Edmonton returns to NASL action in early 2016. Don't miss out! Purchase your 2016 Season Tickets today by calling 780.700.2600. For more information, please visit www.fcedmonton.com or click HERE.
