Vancouver FC has announced the acquisition of Burundian forward Mohamed Amissi and CPL veteran Tom Field as the club prepares for the 2026 Canadian Premier League (CPL) and Concacaf Champions Cup campaign, continuing to shape its roster ahead of the upcoming season.
Amissi, 25, is a dynamic wide attacker capable of playing on both flanks who brings international and European experience to the Eagles. Developed in the Netherlands, he made his professional debut in the Dutch system and recorded 10 appearances in the Eredivisie with Heracles Almelo, with additional experience in Portugal and Egypt.
On the international stage, Amissi has earned 25 caps for the Burundi Men’s National Team and was part of the country’s historic 2019 Africa Cup of Nations squad.
“Mohamed is an exciting attacking talent who brings pace, creativity and versatility to our squad,” said Martin Nash, Interim Head Coach of Vancouver FC. “He will add a new dimension to our attack as we build for the 2026 season.”
Vancouver FC have signed Amissi to a contract guaranteed through 2027, with a club option for 2028.
Field, 28, is a versatile left-back known for his defensive reliability and attacking support. He developed in the Brentford Academy before making senior appearances in the English Football League with Brentford, Bradford City and Cheltenham Town.
Most recently, Field played a pivotal role for Cavalry FC in the CPL, helping the team secure the 2024 North Star Cup while making 59 appearances across his four seasons (2021, 2023-2025).
“Tom is coming off a strong 2025 season and brings valuable experience and versatility to our squad,” said Nash. “He’s a consistent, reliable professional who understands what it takes to compete in this league, and he will add important quality, leadership and stability to our back line”.
