Former Temple defender signs with first-division team in Sweden

Former Temple defender Carlos Moros Gracia will continue his soccer career in Sweden after signing with first-division club GIF Sundsvall.

The Spaniard played 37 matches for the Owls over the past two seasons and was every bit as important to the defense as Spanish forward Jorge Gomez Sanchez was to the offense.

He had four goals and two assists during his time with Temple after transferring from Valencia University in Spain. The 23-year-old played for Valencia C.F. throughout much of his youth career.

GIF Sundsvall Sporting Director Urban Hagblom had this to say about Moros Gracia (via Google Translate) on the club website:

“It will be very exciting and interesting to follow Carlos in 2017.
