University of British Columbia attacker Gagandeep Dosanjh and another mystery player will join FC Edmonton when the club heads to Vancouver Thursday to continue its NASL preseason camp.

Ex-FC Edmonton defender Paul Hamilton says he wanted to remain with the club, even if the a pay cut was on the table. In the end, he says it was management's decisoin to release him.

Paul Hamilton was a member of NASL’s Best XI last season. Now, he’s looking for a new club.

Trinidad and Tobago central defender Carlyle Mitchell arrived in Edmonton Monday, as a loan deal that sends him from the Whitecaps to the Eddies is now awaiting signatures and league approvals.

Albert Watson is FC Edmonton’s new captain, but there’s a chance that he might not be ready to wear the armband for the team when the season kicks off in April.

“We are still discussing things,” said Miller. “Paul and I have a good relationship, and we are trying to resolve the situation.”

FC Edmonton will not confirm — and won’t even comment on this — but there have been reports out of Vancouver that the Eddies were close to securing Whitecaps’ defender Carlyle Mitchell on loan, adding to what has become a crowded back line.

FC Edmonton chopped five players from the roster Saturday, including veterans Chris Kooy and Kenny Caceros. As well, while 2012 NASL Best XI defender Paul Hamilton was not part of the cuts, he is also not signed, either.

It might seem like a strange decision. Chris Nurse, in search of another second-division title, came to a franchise that finished in last place in the league last season.

“I have spoken to Paul (Hamilton), he knows he has work to do,” said Miller. “There are weaknesses in his game that I have seen, and that we have talked about. I think the experience that Albert Watson (the Northern Irish veteran who came to FCE from Linfield FC) brings will help Paul with his game."
