Dragons sign Karlo Krzystofski on season-long loan

The Dragons have secured the loan signing of Barcelona Bullfighters striker Karlo Krzystofski until the end of the season.

Wales captain Krzystofski, 25, will begin a second spell with the club he started his career with and said he is looking forward to the challenge.

"I'm back home," declared Krzystofski. "I've always wanted to come back here one day and now here I am."

Krzystofski started his career with the then-Cardiff Crew in 2001 as a 15-year-old - still to this day the youngest player ever to play in the BritLeague - and stayed there six more years before in 2007, going to London United, then FC London, then East Anglia Knights and then to Barcelona Bullfighters just last year.

The Welsh superstar, sporting newly dyed red hair which matches the colour of the Dragons' shirt, hopes he can stay at the Dragons beyond the end of the season.

"I'd like to stay here. We're currently 10th in the BritLeague, and I'm here to make sure we finish in the top ten, after battling relegation early doors in the season.

"I've played in Barcelona, I've won European trophies, but for me, nothing beats playing here with the Dragons."

London Town complete Quique swoop, offload Bernhardt

London Town have shattered the BritLeague transfer record with the £40million signing of Monsters striker Quique Gómez, a month after the CSA Champions League holders had signed England's Edward Redwood for £35million.

As part of the deal, Town's out-of-favour American striker Billy Bernhardt has moved to the Monsters for £15million.

Spanish striker Quique, 26, handed in a transfer request after his Monsters future was cast in doubt with the signing of former London United striker Redwood, 25.

"I am very happy to be here. London Town is a great club with great players, great fans and a great new stadium," Quique said in a press conference at Town's brand new ground LG Park.

"It is humbling to play with the likes of Daniel Perry, Zvonimir Markovic, John Carey, Andrea Romano and my fellow countryman Juanpa."

"I played against them many times with the Monsters, and I hope I can help the team win many trophies for many years."

US star Perry completes Lightning move

Leeds Lightning have snapped up USA captain Jimmy-Jack Perry for £7million from Baltimore Blues.

The 27-year-old defender, who skippered the Blues to two US Premier League titles, has reportedly signed on a four-year deal with the Lightning and says he has fulfilled a lifelong dream of playing in England.

"This is dream come true for me, playing in the BritLeague," said Perry in his first press conference.

"Meeting the chairman, the manager and all my new team-mates for the first time was a big, big thrill."

As part of the deal, out of favour defender Jamie Hutchinson has been sent on loan to the Blues, who currently lead the US Premier League table.

Douglas in shock Town move

England CSA midfielder James Douglas has completed his shock £20m move from FC London to city rivals London Town.

As part of the deal, Portugal CSA right-back Carlosinho will move to the FC London Stadium.

Douglas' move to Town has shocked the footballing world, but the 23-year-old has stated: "I didn't feel that I wanted enough there (at FC London)."

"I wanted a new contract, but their standards weren't high enough for me."

Douglas moved to FC London from Real Birmingham in August 2007.

But after a brilliant CSA Champions League campaign which saw FCL lose to London United in the final last year, Douglas failed to score until in this year's Champions League last 16 clash against Madrid Cosmos.

FCL missed out on Champions League qualification next season after getting knocked out in the quarter-finals of last season's BritLeague playoffs and getting knocked out in the quarter-finals of this year's Champions League to Manchester Rockers. This turned out to be Douglas's last appearance in the red-and-white hoops, as he handed in his transfer request less than 24 hours later.

Elkins seals move to Monsters

London Town striker Peter Elkins has agreed to move to the Monsters for an undisclosed fee.

England CSA international Elkins, who played for Town while they were still known as Ajax London, had a horrible season, having only scored three goals in 16 appearances.

It is Elkins' fifth club in six years. The 6'8" forward, the tallest striker in MLF/BritLeague history, started his BritLeague career at Belfast Burn in 2002, before moving to Merseyside in 2005. He then joined Euro League side Lyon Roar two years later, but did not last long in France, sending him to Ajax London in early 2008.

"We're a big club with big players, and this boy is no exception."

Glasgow FC have agreed to terminate Colin Petrovsky's contract after the Canadian striker agreed a deal to return to his homeland with Toronto Celtic.

The Canada CSA veteran, 32, only joined GFC in the winter from FC London.

But he says he has failed to adapt to the Scottish country-life.

Petrovsky will officially join Toronto Celtic on 1 May, with the Canadian Premier League season starting two days later.
