Summary:
It's not often that leaving Barcelona can be good for your career but that appears to be the case for Jace Hunter. He joined Sampdoria but was immediately loaned out to a Ligue 2 side for first team experience and he really shone there, helping them to promotion to Ligue 1. Jace will be looking forward to pushing for the No. 1 shirt in Sampdoria next season. He is a good shot-stopper and is brave and aggressive. He does have to work on some of the technical aspects of goalkeeping where he is just average but he is young still.
Jace has been capped 6 times for Canada.
