Sean Fraser to train with Swedish side
Tuesday, October 02, 2007
National Sports Group client, Miami FC midfielder and Jamaican International, Sean Fraser, 24, who spent the last winter period on a four-month loan to Boavista Sport Club in Brazil, has travelled to Sweden to train with Åtvidabergs Fotbollförening for a week.
Fraser has received permission from Miami to travel and train with the Superettan side which is managed by Peter Swardh, former assistant coach at Helsingborg during Jamaican international Luton Shelton's tenure at the club.
A powerhouse in Swedish football during the 1970s, Åtvidabergs were most recently as high as third in the tables and positioned for promotion until the middle of August. The club now sits seven points behind the promotion zone, having only picked up a total of six points out of a possible 18 throughout the last six matches.
Three clubs from the Superettan will be promoted at the end of the 2007 season. Most notable, Åtvidabergs recently qualified for UEFA Cup competition in 2006, having lost in the final of the Swedish Cup in 2005 and thus earning a birth to the European tournament where they played Grasshopper Zurich and dropped both legs on 0-8 aggregate to the Swiss club.
Fraser spent 2006 and 2007 with Miami FC of the United Soccer Leagues (USL) - Division One, in the United States of America. Fraser played alongside Brazilian World Cup legends, Romário and Zinho, during this time and registered a total of 10 goals and 11 assists during that time in all competitions. He also registered two goals and four assists in his time with Boavista Sport Club of Brazil in the 2007 Campeonato Carioca, while playing against powerful sides such as Flamengo and Vasco da Gama.
He began his career with Portmore United and Harbour View in the National Premier League of Jamaica. He also participated in Jamaica's Under-17 and Under-20 World Youth Championship selections and featured prominently for the side during the Under-20 tournament in 2001. Fraser received his most recent Jamaican senior national team cap in the June 2007 friendly match against Chile.
