Vancouver Whitecaps defender Joedrick Pupe is heading to Belgium on a permanent basis, with the club officially completing his transfer to Sint-Truidense VV on Tuesday.
As part of the agreement, the Whitecaps negotiated the right to receive a share of any future transfer fees should Pupe move on from the Belgian Pro League club down the road.
Whitecaps FC sporting director Axel Schuster expressed gratitude toward the departing player, saying, “We are thankful to Joedrick for his contributions to our club and wish him the best of luck with Sint-Truidense VV.”
The 29-year-old defender made two appearances for Vancouver during last season’s playoff run. Prior to the permanent deal being finalized, Pupe had already been playing for Sint-Truidense VV on loan, logging 10 appearances and finding the net once during that stretch.
