FC Edmonton News Release
EDMONTON, AB (January 22, 2015) - FC Edmonton announce today the signing of Allan Zebie to the Eddies 2015 North American Soccer League (NASL) roster. The former FCE Academy full-back will join the club for the next season. As per club policy, the terms of the contract are not disclosed.
"Allan has been given a great opportunity to impress us," said FC Edmonton head coach Colin Miller. "He made a good impression when he was training with us last year, so I'm hopeful that we'll be seeing a lot of Allan this season."
Zebie, 21, first joined the FC Edmonton family in 2012 as part of the FCE Academy program. After a season with the NAIT Ooks, an Edmonton college soccer team, he travelled overseas to go on trial with Leeds FC and then Glasgow Rangers in Scotland. In 2014 he returned to Edmonton and began training with the first team.
Zebie is also no stranger to the Canadian national program. In 2012 he was invited to the U-20 camp under Nick Dasovic and was called-up to three more camps and finally, the CONCACAF Men's Under-20 Championship in 2013.
"I'm very excited to officially become a part of FC Edmonton," said Zebie. "I had a great time training with the team last year and I'm looking forward to playing some matches with the team."
