RICARDO CLARK

(metrostars.mlsnet.com)

A tremendous rookie season saw Ricardo Clark finish 3rd in Rookie of Year voting and establish himself as a future star for both club and country but injuries led to an inconsistent 2nd season and a trade to the west coast.

Having already impressed on the US youth scene and the young midfielder has did the same in MLS demonstrating poise and skill on the ball plus a willingness to attack from his defensive midfield spot.

Born and raised in the ATL, he was named state player of the year after his senior year and as a high school All-American.

He became an anchor in Furman University's midfield and helped lead them to into the 3rd Round of the NCAA Tournament.

Ricardo has already emulated his father by appearing on the US U-20 squad and now this smooth and crafty midfielder will look to take the next step in his young but promising career.
