Milltown FC Roster Set For Opener

Milltown FC Announces Full Roster Ahead of First Ever CSL Match
MILTON, ON – Milltown FC has completed the process of finalizing its roster for the 2010 season. Director of Soccer Operations and Head Coach, Rafael Carbajal, has been hard at work securing an additional 23 players over the past week, ahead of Milltown FC’s first ever CSL Regular Season match on May 15.

“We have a very disciplined and humble group of players who have proven to me that they are ready to compete and will give all that they’ve got for the club”, said Coach Carbajal. “I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the players we have been able to find. There are several hidden gems on our roster.”

NEW SIGNINGS
Jason Morgan
Morgan, a 22 year old Brampton, Ontario resident, has impressed the Coach Carbajal with his skill, poise under pressure and tenaciousness.

The central midfielder is currently attending Ryerson University, where he was a member of the Rams’ 2009 Varsity Soccer team. Prior to transferring to Ryerson, Morgan was a scholarship athlete at Oakland City University (Indiana) and was named the school’s 2006 Rookie of the Year. He is also a graduate of Bryst International Football Academy.

Michael Jan
Jan, another member of the 2009 Ryerson Rams Varsity Team, has been a standout at left fullback since being identified at the Milltown FC Open Tryouts.

The 19 year old Toronto native, who was awarded the OUA Rookie of the Year award for his play in the 2009 season, has consistently impressed the coaches throughout training camp.

Brandon De Serpa
De Serpa, 22 years old, is the last player to put his signature on a contract, having joined Milltown FC’s training camp slightly more than a week ago.

The Kitchener, Ontario resident is a talented forward with a very good work rate who has been a top scorer at almost every level he has played. In 2009, De Serpa played for Cambridge PCC Supersonics of the Ontario Soccer League.

Ben Ragan
Ragan, hailing from Guelph, Ontario, was among those players who participated in the Milltown FC Open Tryouts which took place in late March.

The 22 year old Central Defender has been a star for the University of Guelph’s Varsity Soccer Team, earning OUA First Team All-Star Honours in 2009.
Ben is the son of former Canadian National Team Captain, Randy Ragan.

Chad Fernandez
Fernandez, 25 years of age, is a strong, no nonsense defender who can also provide midfield cover.

The Guelph, Ontario native spent some time overseas, first as a member of the youth program for Uruguayan powerhouse Defensor Sporting Club before signing with Montevideo-based Club Atlético Bella Vista.

Danilo Richards
Richards is another Kitchener resident who has joined Milltown FC for the 2010 season, joining Brandon De Serpa and Cordell Benjamin. The Jamaican-born 20 year old forward is blessed with excellent pace and has displayed a strong work ethic throughout training camp.

In addition the club has signed the following Ontario-based players:

The roster currently sits at 32 players. Milltown FC is hopeful to get good news about two more players from overseas who are hoping to secure the necessary visas to come to Canada to join the club.
