After weeks of speculation, it was made official Tuesday that young striker Randy Edwini-Bonsu has completed a move to Eintracht Braunschweig in the 2.Bundesliga. Edwini-Bonsu, 21, spent time with the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency and played 32 games with the 'Caps senior team before signing with AC Oulu in Finland's second division earlier this year. In Finland, he caught fire, scoring 16 goals in just 20 appearances.

Edwini-Bonsu is just the latest Canadian to sign on with a club in Germany, joining a group that currently includes Marcel de Jong, Kevin McKenna, Rob Friend, Olivier Occean, Adam Straith, Julian Latendresse-Levesque and Jaineil Hoilett. Eintracht Braunschweig currently sits seventh in the table in the 2.Bundesliga, with a third-place finish necessary for the team to have a chance at promotion.
Edwini-Bonsu has made 20 appearances for Canadian national youth teams, and earned his only cap with the senior men's national team during a friendly against Jamaica in January 2010. Men's national team head coach Stephen Hart -- who coached Edwini-Bonsu when he was with Canada's U20 team -- said that he considered calling the youngster up for the recent round of World Cup qualifiers, but ultimately decided the time wasn't right.
