Canadian striker returns to MLS

Dutch club Heerenveen have confirmed that Canadian striker Will Johnson will be returning to Major League Soccer, after spending the past season on loan with De Graafschap.

The 21-year-old Johnson was originally signed by Chicago and made six appearances for the Fire, who still own the player's rights. Given Chicago's recent acquisition of Brian McBride, however, it is likely that Johnson will be traded. Toronto FC would certainly be interested since the thrice-capped Canadian national team player wouldn't count against their foreigner cap, like he would on American-based clubs.
