First-round pick Justin Fiddes loaned to Fresno FC

Despite manager Carl Robinson’s tendency towards using rookies right off the bat, the club announced they would loan 2018 SuperDraft pick Justin Fiddes to USL affiliate Fresno FC until the end of the season.

Vancouver has the option to recall Fiddes during the summer transfer window but barring that sort of move the former University of Washington standout will spend the rest of the year with the Foxes with four other Whitecaps loanees.

A pacey left back that excited fans when he was drafted in January, Fiddes will be forced to compete with Scottish left back Alex Cooper, who has started six of the club’s eight matches this season.
