Carson Emanuel Buschman-Dormond (born October 27, 2002) is a Canadian soccer player who plays for Balzan in the Maltese Premier League.

Early life

Buschman-Dormond began playing youth soccer with Fusion FC, later joining the Vancouver Whitecaps Academy, where he played for one season when he was 12.[1] He then returned to playing with Fusion FC and received a scholarship offer to Simon Fraser University to play with the men's soccer team, when he was in tenth grade. He then joined the Blaise Soccer Academy, run by former Swiss national team player Blaise Nkufo.

In 2019, he went on trial with Estonian club Viljandi JK Tulevik, but did not sign with them as he was underage,[2] and afterwards trialed with Dutch side De Graafschap, before returning to Vancouver.[3] Overall, he went on trial with seven different teams in six different countries, including the youth sides of German clubs Borussia Mönchengladbach and Hertha Berlin.[4]

Club career

In February 2021, he joined Estonian Meistriliiga side Viljandi JK Tulevik.[5] [6] He made his debut in the first game of the season on March 13 against FC Kuressaare, scoring his first goal in the match,[7] which was named as the Goal of the Month.[8] He scored two goals and added three assists in twelve league matches, also helping the club reach the semi-finals of the Estonian Cup.[9]

In June 2021, he was sent on loan to Swiss club FC Zürich on a two-year loan, with a purchase option.[10] [11] He spent the majority of his time playing with the U21 side which played in the third tier Swiss Promotion League, but also appeared in eight friendlies with the first team.[12]

In late June 2023, he signed with Czech club FC Sellier & Bellot Vlašim, ahead of the 2023-24 season.[13] [14] However, a few weeks later in July 2023, he signed with Canadian Premier League club York United FC for the remainder of the 2023 season, with a club option for 2024.[15] [16]

In April 2024, he joined Altitude FC in League1 British Columbia.[17]
