Béland-Goyette has captained FC Montreal over the past two seasons in the USL, making 41 appearances and logging 3,256 minutes. The central midfielder recorded four goals and one assist in that span, including earning the USL Goal of the Month for August this past season.

He’s a central midfielder with a good understanding of the game and good range of passing.”
