The Kansas City Wizards have signed Argentinean attacking player Eloy Colombano, as a youth international.
Colombano, who is just 24, has already been chewed up and spit out by Argentina's football machine. As a teenager, he impressed scouts enough to earn a call-up to Argentina's under-20 squad. He was later signed by Argentine first division club Estudiantes, but things took a turn for the worse for Colombano when he fractured his foot. According to a 2005 article in El Dia, he began to slip into obscurity, at one point playing in Argentina's fourth division.
"We are excited to add Eloy Colombano to our team," Head Coach Curt Onalfo said. "He fits very well into our style of play, adds tremendous depth and quickness to our team and will push the players already on our roster on a daily basis for a starting spot in our team."
Colombano is primarily a right-sided midfielder. Kansas City have the week off and will host New England Sunday, August 19th at Arrowhead Stadium.
