Following his first stint in Vancouver, Harmse joined FC Nitra of the Slovakian Superliga, where he started 12 of his 13 appearances with the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing able to play where I grew up is very exciting,\u201d said Harmse. \u201cI never imagined professional soccer being like this in Vancouver. To be playing for the club in their first MLS year is a great opportunity for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harmse joined up with the club on Friday and will be available as the club sets up for its first ever away MLS match against Philadelphia on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/201ed65bget.media_771-150x90.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>View post:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/foreign.peacefmonline.com\/sports\/201103\/148080.php\" title=\"Kevin Harmes Returns To Vancouver Whitecaps\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Harmes Returns To Vancouver Whitecaps<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced Friday that defender\/midfielder Kevin Harmse has been signed to the club\u2019s roster. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-340979","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-business"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
