    His college profile.

    He has apparently been in Sweden with american club Chicago Bridges who I previously wrote about last year in this thread when they were over here to showcase their players. They played Lidköpings FK that year which ended up in the swedish club signing three americans for the second half of the 2013 season: JC Aikenhead, Luis Mojica and Travis Cantrell.

    And now they played Lidköping again this summer and Graf scored both his teams goal in the 88th minute and during extratime to earn the Chicago club the 2-1 win. The local paper has the news but it's behind a paywall so I can't link to that article. He is included in the squad for the clubs next game though, and has apparantly been given the #12.

    Here are some pictures of Graf and his goals from the game against Lidköping:

    There had apparantly been alot of delays in getting Graf the permits to play in Sweden but he made his debut yesterday where he scored one and assisted one in a 2-1 win. Here's also a video interview with Graf from after the game:

    Typo? That's an homage to the late Mel Tillis.

    Signed with the Rhinos:

    Graf returns to America after spending the last three seasons in Sweden playing for Lidkopings FK, Carlstad United & Oskarshamns AIK. He scored multiple game-winners in the various Swedish leagues, often late in matches. ​
