Terry Dunfield takes a shot at making FC Edmonton’s roster By Steven Sandor Posted on March 18, 2016 2 0 781 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Terry Dunfield Could Terry Dunfield make a career comeback with FC Edmonton? The 34-year-old Canadian midfielder is on trial with the Eddies and played in Friday’s friendly against Newcastle United’s U-21 squad. The Eddies are in the midst of their preseason camp in Scotland. The Eddies confirmed that Dunfield joined the club on Thursday evening. Dunfield was released by Ross County at the end of the 2014-15 season and hasn’t been with a club since then. He has 14 career Canadian camps and last played for the national team in 2013. Dunfield came to MLS when the Whitecaps joined the league in 2011, and he scored for the ‘Caps in their first MLS regular-season game. Dunfield was later sent to Toronto FC, where he was named the club’s Player of the Year after the 2012 season and was elevated to the role of team captain. But injuries caught up with Dunfield and the Reds released him halfway through the 2013 season. When FCE coach Colin Miller coached the Canadian national team, he named Dunfield Canada’s captain for a 2013 friendly against Denmark. Dunfield, a graduate of the Manchester City system, played a total of 52 career MLS games, scoring four times and adding three assists. Dunfield is the only trialist the Eddies have taken on this season. The Eddies have been clear that they wanted to have a cohesive unit out of training camp — and had not been taking flyers on any try-out players.
