After 15 years playing in France, TFC's Quentin Westberg wanted something new -- professionally and personally.
TORONTO — After 15 years playing in France, Quentin Westberg wanted something new — professionally and personally.
Vanney was impressed when he talked to Westberg before getting here. It was clear he had taken the time to watch TFC play. Plus Westberg distributes the ball well with his feet, a talent that has become a key part of the modern-day ‘keeper. After three years at Clairefontaine, Westberg signed a youth contract with the Troyes AC academy, making his pro debut in 2006. He signed with Evian in 2010 before moving to Luzenac AP and then Norway’s Sarpsborg 08 FF.
"In soccer if you’re meant to play, you will play. If you’re ready to play, you will play and you will do well. That’s how I like to think of myself and the past 15 years of my career have proven me correct on that standpoint. You need to do your thing well, just be a good teammate and just give it everything you’ve got."
Westberg chose to represent the U.S. internationally, playing for the under-17, U-20 and U-23 squads — at times with current TFC captain Michael Bradley.
