OTTAWA – The Ottawa Fury FC, the new partner club of the Montreal Impact, announced on Thursday the signing of goalkeeper David Paulmin for the 2017 USL season.

“We are happy to put in place this first concrete link between both clubs since the partnership was made official,” said Impact technical director Adam Braz. “We will continue to monitor David’s development over the course of the year and look forward to see how David progresses in this new environment.”

After graduating from the youth Academy teams, Paulmin played two full USL seasons with FC Montreal. He played nine games in 2015 and eight in 2016.

The Montreal Impact will keep his MLS rights because of his homegrown status.
