instructing to see him still at Boden. In Div 2- which is the highest Amateur Division in Sweden, you can not get a work permit from the team. The team must have got him a job outside of the team in order to secure his work permit to continue playing. Thus is why you see many Americans at that level signed on 3 month deals (Visa allows for 90 Day Periods).
