Excellent opportunity for Ryan Fuetz as he heads to the USA in hopes of landing a pro deal with Colorado Switchbacks.

Get the feeling he would have had a very prolific Central League campaign if he hadn't been in and out of Matchday squads towards the backend of West's campaign. As it was, and in the absence of more substantial statistics from out of the Central League, he still managed to hit double figures (10) at nigh on 1.2 goals per 90 over 12 appearances - all non penalty goals too.

Good luck to him. 🤞

Bit of an odd time to trial with USL season nearing its end. Good luck to him. Jesse Randall picked up a gig there so gives Feutz some hope

No Linder for Caps II as they finish the season with a 3-3 draw. 
Caps II then lose the following pen shootout. Hopefully both him & Jay Herdman are fit and healthy for new season in 2024, and can push for first team MLS contracts.

Dyer 78 mins in a 5-2 win. Hartford the weakest team across the USL.

Dyer got the 3rd goal & an assist for the 4th goal.
His USL season now over. 21 starts in 29 games, 4 goals.
Goal output about half of what he was achieving in Canada's CPL.

Might be worth a look at by new Auckland ALM team as a squaddie. He'll be 27 in March next year.

Goal + Assist for Dyer to end the season for Tulsa.
