CF Montreal Swoops For Johnston!

Alistair Johnston is headed back to Canada to join CF Montreal as per reports emerging from The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal

It’s been quite a year for the Canadian international defender, who could also have played for Northern Ireland under the parentage qualification.

Having only made his full international debut in March, Johnston has now tallied the incredible amount of 18 caps in less than a year, a sign of Covid-times and Canada’s World Cup campaign kicking-off so early amongst the minnows.

Firmly established in the Nashville SC side he scored his first MLS goal in a 5-1 success for Nashville SC over Inter-Miami earlier this year, and now he’s about to return to Montreal where like James Pantemis, he once played youth soccer for Lakeshore SC
