Player Bio:
From Wikipedia.org
Hirschfeld currently plays for CFR Cluj in Romania after joining from Rosenborg B.K. for €1,300,000. He started his career with the Edmonton Drillers, playing indoor soccer. Hirschfeld also played with Energie Cottbus in Germany, Calgary Storm, and Vancouver Whitecaps before his big break with Canada in the 2002 Gold Cup, where he was named the best goalkeeper of the tournament, after allowing only four goals in five matches. This caused top European club Tottenham Hotspur F.C. to be interested in him, and he signed with them in early 2002. Hirschfeld never got much playing time in Tottenham, however, and went on loan to Luton Town and Gillingham F.C., before joining Dundee United in August 2004. A move to Leicester City followed in January 2005, but he only made one start during the remainder of the 04/05 season. Hirschfeld was then picked up by Tromsø I.L. as a replacement goalkeeper for the remainder of the Norwegian 2005-season. Hirschfeld made some crucial saves during Tromsø I.L.'s campaign to avoid relegation, and was a key figure in the UEFA Cup matches against Esbjerg fB and Galatasaray, both of which were won by Tromsø I.L. During his brief period at Tromsø I.L., he established a name for himself in Norway. The next year, he won the Norwegian Premier League with Rosenborg B.K., having beaten Espen Johnsen for first-string goalie at Rosenborg B.K.
Hirschfeld also holds a German citizenship.
