A starter in the NASL and a key player with Canada’s under 20s, the 18-year-old is staking his claim as one of the country's most important prospects.
The consensus among all of his coaches, is that Shamit Shome is one of the brightest young talents in Canadian soccer.
Why is Shome, who turns 19 next month, so special? There are several reasons; but for Rob Gale, head coach of Canada’s Under-20 men’s team, what sets Shome apart from his other young counterparts is that he’s already a starter for his hometown club FC Edmonton, which plays in the NASL.
