Aaron Horton of the Columbus Crew is on trial at an unnamed club in Bosnia. Horton has had little chance of playing time since signing as the Crew's first homegrown signing. http://www.thecrew.com/news/2013/01/qa-mccullers-addresses-roster-rumors
Looks like the loan has gone through and that the club is FK Sarajevo. http://mobile.dispatch.com/wap/news...3760474&cid=20837&ith=1&title=Top+Sports+News
I don't want to say this isn't true but I am wondering because only yesterday Mark McCullers said he is on trial and they will see if it will work out. Then the next day they say its official? I am just wondering if some of the verbage got mixed up with either the first or second report.
I don't understand this post but, there has never been a large Jewish community in Sarajevo. Even pre-World War II.

Horton will be training with Hammarby and Gregg Berhalter this week. The short article says that the purpose is for him to get experience training in a different enviroment from what he's used to. He will return to the US at the end of the week.
Horton played the first half tonight for Hammarby in a preseason game against third tier club IK Sirius. The result was 0-0 at halftime when he left the game but Hammarby eventually ended up winning 1-0. Looking through comments after the game, the positives seem to be that he is very fast and one poster kind of described his style as a "Charlie Davies-light". It doesn't sound like Horton made much of a lasting impression beyond that though, which probably isn't too surprising. One fan even went as far as writing that it felt like Hammarby were playing with only ten men in the first half because Horton had such a small impact on the game.
Horton has returned to the USA. The Hammarby director of sports comments: "He looked ok, didn't make a fool out of himself in any way. A fast forward with some good qualities, a good guy. But he won't be coming with us to the Cyprus training camp."
A frank assessment of Horton by Brian Bliss, whose Crew have released him: Coach Robert Warzycha criticized Horton’s professionalism after the 2012 season, and the Crew explored several loan options. The winter saw unsuccessful trials with FK Sarajevo in Bosnia and Hammarby in Sweden before Horton was loaned to the Los Angeles Blues of United Soccer Leagues Pro division, where he made three starts in five appearances this year. “He came in as a 19-year-old with high expectations and probably never reached that lofty goal that he had and we had as a homegrown,” Bliss said. “You can go club to club and find numerous guys it doesn’t work out for. We wish him the best and give him a chance to go taste it somewhere else, and hopefully he can find that because he’s got some tools.” http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2013/10/30/homegrown-player-horton-cut.html Perhaps he'll try his luck abroad again.
Over four years later, perhaps he will. He signed with UN Käerjéng in Luxembourg's second tier. https://www.wort.lu/fr/sport/transfert-un-americain-a-l-un-kaeerjeng-5a5bab43c1097cee25b7bd21 (Thanks to @DC_Dave for pointing this out in another thread.)
Signed with SV Weil in Germany: Mit dem US-Amerikaner Aaron Horton kann der SV Weil Neuzugang Nr. 3 für die kommende Verbandsliga-Saison vermelden. http://www.svweil.de/index.php?opti...32:wechselt-zum-sv-weil-2&catid=244&Itemid=79
Looks like he's still there. I guess you could say he's been there a ... Weil. https://svweil.de/aktive/1-mannschaft/
Evidently he's still in Germany, with Ottersweier. (You gotta scroll way down to get to the rosters at the link below.) https://www.fvottersweier.de/herren/
