FC Edmonton announced today five players that will return for the 2017 NASL season. As per club policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.

Goalkeeper Tyson Farago, midfielders Ben Fisk and Pedro Galvao, as well as forward Tomi Amoebi will join previously announced midfielder Nik Ledgerwood for the 2017 NASL campaign.

“We are very happy to have these players signed with us again,” FC Edmonton coach Colin Miller said. “There is an element of continuity that we have always had at the club that we try and get heading into every season. There will be a turnaround of players this season, but this core, as well others that will be announced shortly, adds solidity to the club and the direction the club is going. We are looking for big things from all five of these lads this season.”

FC Edmonton is coming off the most successful campaign in club history that included several highlight performances, awards, and honours as the club qualified for the NASL postseason for the first time since 2011. The club finished with an astounding 21 goals against in 32 league matches, and a third-place overall finish.

Midfielder Gustavo and defenders Adam Eckersley and Johann Smith will not return for FC Edmonton’s upcoming season.
