Forward Tristan Bowen has left KuPS is Finland for AFC United in Sweden. Tristan joins GK Josh Wicks in the Swedish Superettan (2nd tier) just in time for the start of the Swedish League's new season. According to AFC Tristan will be used on the right wing.

Tristan has become a bit of a journeyman (or maybe just unsettled) coming through the LA Galaxy system ultimately playing for the senior squad LA Galaxy. Then the moves begin, Chivas USA, KSV in Belgium, the Seattle Sounders and the New England Revolution, before joining KuPS in August last year, where he scored 3 goals in 13 appearances.  All that and still only 26.

I sure hope that Tristan has found a home in Sweden, we will all be watching.
