Östersunds FK has brought back two former players from the club's successful period. Dennis Widgren signed a few weeks ago, and Curtis Edwards joined the squad this week thanks to a fundraising effort by supporters. The club announced that they could re-sign former player Curtis Edwards, but lacked the funds, so fans stepped in to help.
A quarter of a million kronor was raised in a week, which moved the midfielder. Curtis Edwards said it warms his heart, that the club means a lot to him, and he always wanted to return. Curtis Edwards was picked up by Djurgården and won a Swedish championship with them in 2019.

Dennis Widgren was signed by Hammarby the same year and has since played in Allsvenskan, most recently with Sirius. Both players were part of ÖFK during the team's glory days and the Europa League adventure in 2017-2018. Dennis Widgren said he had dreams of playing abroad but is happy to be back, missing Östersund as a city.
He praised Curtis Edwards as a fantastic person who will contribute significantly on and off the field. Dennis Widgren signed a three-year contract, and Curtis Edwards signed a two-year deal with the club.
