Alejandro Bedoya is a talented midfielder who followed Boston College teammate Charlie Davies’ career path and went from the NCAA to the Swedish Allsvenskan league and eventually the USMNT.  He has become a regular at club level, catching the attention of the USMNT coaching staff in 2010.

“I’m new to the National Team and the system they have. I’m just trying to learn the system and get some experience along the way. I have to play my game and try to bring what I can do to the table. I enjoy training with these guys and learning from them. It’s been fun.” from 10 Questions With Alejandro Bedoya

Bedoya joined fellow US National Teamers Carlos Bocanegra and Maurice Edu at Rangers in the Scottish Premier League, but that club’s administrative relegation led Bedoya to Helsingborgs. After a season in Sweden, he joined Ligue 1 club Nantes. In August 2016, Bedoya transferred to Philadelphia.
