BARTLETT — Things have gone better than Camden Clark could ever have imagined. Clark, who is on a three-week summer break from playing professional soccer in Sweden, has helped Boden City FC move nine points clear at the top of the Division 4 table. The team has gone undefeated since his arrival in late April and the talented goalie is drawing attention from upper-level clubs.
“It’s been great,” Clark said in an interview at the Sun on July 12. He is scheduled to fly back to Sweden this Thursday to prepare for the second half of the season.
