UNC soccer star Billy Schuler opts for soccer in Sweden over MLS


Last Saturday, I spoke with Billy Schuler from his hotel in Stockholm, the day he officially signed his contract with Hammarby and two days after setting foot in Sweden for the first time. Schuler says that his agent had made inquiries with overseas clubs “since [UNC’s] season ended,” but that the decision to play to Europe instead of MLS was made “literally a week or two ago.” (Independent Weekly)
