Shortly before the Major League Soccer Primary Transfer Window closed at 11:59 EST, last night, the Vancouver Whitecaps acquired winger/forward Bernie Ibini-Isei from Belgium’s Club Brugge.

Ibini is a 24-year-old Australian who has been on loan to Australian A-League’s Sydney FC from Club Brugge. In his two loan spells with Sydney FC, Ibini has 3 goals in 20 appearances. He has represented Australia at the U-20 World Cup and with the senior team.
