Professional Soccer 1

• Kristian Fletcher L’23: DC United forward/ Swansea City U21  

Levien reveals hand on Fletcher 

• Swansea City co-owner Jason Levien expects Kristian Fletcher to return to D.C. United when his loan spell in south Wales comes to an end.

• The American forward was added to Swansea’s ranks in the summer, but has been restricted to a string of high-profile performances for the under-21s. Despite training with the first team recently, he hasn’t yet made a senior breakthrough, and Levien now expects him to return stateside when his loan expires in January.

• He’s not been in the first-team on a matchday yet but has really caught the eye in the academy ranks, with some tipping him for a shot in Michael Duff’s side.

• Jason Levien told MLSsoccer.com:“I think it’s fantastic that Kristian is having the success he’s having and the experience he’s having. We want him playing first-team soccer or football to get that experience as well. So right now we expect that he’ll be back with D.C. United.

• “We’re going to talk to him and both clubs about that, figure out what’s the best path for his development. But I think with a new coach coming into D.C. and new leadership in soccer operations, I think it’s a great opportunity for Kristian.”

• Fletcher maintains red-hot form

• Meanwhile, Fletcher maintained his scintillating run of form for Swansea’s under-21s by netting a HAT-TRICK IN A 4-1 win over Colchester United at Landore on Friday afternoon.

• The American bagged a double shortly after Charlie Veevers had given the hosts the lead, before netting again just before the hour. It’s the 18-year-old’s second hat-trick in as many games, and he’s now taken his tally up to 16 goals.

• Kristian Fletcher excelling for Swansea City’s U-21 side
