Americans Abroad Spotlight: Former U.S. Under-20 Gall thriving in Sweden

The one-time Columbus Crew midfielder is on a goal-scoring spree, having scored five goals in seven matches to revive his once-stalled career

Romain Gall is playing the best soccer of his career, scoring goals and enjoying himself as one of the standouts on Swedish first division side GIF Sundsvall. It is the sort of success expected of Gall back when he was a promising and highly-skilled midfielder on the U.S. Under-20 national team. The sort of success that looked like it might not come after his career hit a crossroads just two years ago.

Gall found himself without a club, and with very few options in March of 2016, after having been let go by the Columbus Crew after two largely uneventful seasons.
