Conrad Smith signs with FC Edmonton

Keeper and attacker sign with FC Edmonton
fcedmonton.com

Prior to coming home from training camp, FC Edmonton made two more additions to its roster.

Goalkeeper Lance Parker and Trinidad International Conrad Smith both signed for the club and have made the move to Edmonton.

Parker, a native of Oklahoma City, already has NASL experience with Miami FC (now Fort Lauderdale Strikers), as well as a two-year stint with Chivas USA in the MLS.

Before signing with Miami, Parker played for the University of Missouri for four years where he was named First Team Academic All American.

“I know nothing about Edmonton but I’m looking forward to it,” said the 6’4”, 200 lbs keeper. “I know it’s cold but the climate doesn’t really bother me because in Oklahoma, we have extreme cold and extreme hot so I’m used to it.”

Smith is a 5’9”, 180 lbs attacking midfielder with National Team experience. The 29-year-old has played 24 times for Trinidad where he also played professionally with Joe Public FC before signing with FC Edmonton.

He has also played in USSF Div 2 with the Calgary Mustangs in 2004 and also with Calgary Callies in 2005 with FCE Assistant Coach Dave Randall.

Parker travelled back to Edmonton from Arizona with the club and Smith is expected to join the team from Trinidad over the next few days.

The two signings brings the FCE’s roster total to 22.

FCE Pot Five in the Peg

FCE Pot Five in the Peg

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — FC Edmonton came out of Winnipeg with a 5-0 victory this weekend in a preseason game against WSA Winnipeg.

New signing Conrad Smith opened the scoring in the 16th minute after some good build up play between the striker and captain Chris Kooy.

Chris Lemire made it 2-0 just two minutes later, converting a nice free kick, and that scoreline stood going in to the second half.

Alex Surprenant made it 3-0 in the 77th, hitting the ball from long range and beating the Winnipeg keeper.

Alex Semenets increased FC Edmonton’s lead again in the 86th from the penalty spot and defenceman John Jonke capped off the 5-0 win with a fine header in the 89th.

Rein Baart started in goal for the Blues and Lance Parker took over in the second half.

FC Edmonton may have won the game but they also lost an important piece of the backline with what appears to be a serious injury. Centre-back Paul Matthijs could be out four weeks, according to Assistant Coach Dave Randall.

The team flies home tonight and will begin preparing for the first road trip of the season starting April 2.

In other news…Midfielder Sam Lam has come to terms with the club and signed a contract late last week. Lam played for FC Edmonton during last year’s exhibition season and his brother Matt is on loan from the club with Japanese side JEF United.

Yes, Conrad Simth played plently times for T&T.

I always like him as a player and he use to shine for Caledonia and Joe Public.

Strong player, always ah underdog, he have about 20 caps and score a few goals for T&T including one against Bermuda and Azerbaijan.

He is about 29 years now... ?
