Taiwan’s Emilio Estevez makes CPL historyBy Dave Carroll / Staff reporterTaiwan international soccer player Emilio Estevez has signed for Dutch side ADO Den Haag for an undisclosed fee, his side York9 announced on Tuesday, making the 21-year-old midfielder the first Canadian Premier League (CPL) player to sign for a top-flight European side. It’s something that I wasn’t expecting, to be honest,” Estevez told the CPL Web site. Taiwan’s Emilio Estevez, right, controls the ball as he looks for a way around Australia’s Brandon Borrello in their FIFA World Cup qualifier at Kaohsiung National Stadium on Oct. 15 last year. Having had trials at Spanish side Levante UD and Queens Park Rangers in England, Estevez signed for York9 and played 18 matches in the inaugural CPL season. “Coming from trials two years ago and now going to Europe is obviously a huge thrill for me,” Estevez said.
