John Pelu (born 2 February 1982 in Burkina Faso) is a Burkinabé-born Swedish professional footballer who currently plays for Strindheim.[1]
Career
He formerly played for Helsingborgs IF and Östers IF in Sweden and Kongsvinger IL in Norway.
In March 2009, the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer had him in for a one-week trial as they looked for a replacement for former striker Nate Jaqua.[2]
On 30 March, however, Pelu signed for Norwegian First Division side FK Haugesund on loan, before signing on a permanent deal later on in that year.
