League Soccer: Team Captain and Deal Monday

league soccer: Bernier, the team captain, has been a stalwart on and off the field since returning to the Impact when the club joined Major League Soccer in 2012, according to The Waterloo Record. It's a special year because it's my last, said Bernier, who will turn 38 on Sept. 23. The native of Brossard, Que., a young star in the defunct A-League in the early 2000s who later played nine years in Europe, signed a deal Monday to compete one final season with the Impact before joining the club's academy as a coach next year. It's been my aim for a while to finish when I was 38 and this contract lets me end my career here. Despite his age, he ended last season in the team's starting 11 as it surged to the Eastern Conference final. The five-foot-10 midfielder is one of the best players ever to come out of Quebec.
