"It seemed like every obstacle that could come in the way happened, from not being on flights to quarantine and getting the work permit and stuff," Gauld said Tuesday at Vancouver's picturesque training centre. "It was a tough couple of weeks, but thankfully, everything’s taken care of now." Navigating those obstacles was tricky, he admitted. "But it never entered my head that it was a sign that I was making the wrong decision," Gauld said. "And I’ve seen since I arrived, especially here in Vancouver, that I’ve 100 per cent made the right decision." The club confirmed the long-rumoured signing of the 25-year-old attacking midfielder on Saturday, bringing him to Major League Soccer on a three-year designated player contract.
