RSL Sign T&T Fitzpatrick
RSL: Signing offsets injuries
Quote:
Real Salt Lake has had its eyes on dreadlocked midfielder Leslie "Tiger" Fitzpatrick for months.
Now, it has its hands on him, too.

And this from the Deseret News
Quote:
A DONE DEAL, FINALLY: RSL general manager Steve Pastorino confirmed Wednesday that after negotiating with the Atlanta Silverbacks of the A-League for weeks to try and acquire Leslie Fitzpatrick, a Trinidad & Tobago National Teamer, the deal finally went through.
He's expected to be in uniform for today's practice, and might even be available as a substitute for Saturday's game.
Fitzpatrick's strength is at left midfield, a position Salt Lake has been searching to fill ever since Costa Rican international Pablo Brenes left the team three weeks into training camp to return to his native Costa Rica.
The transaction leaves Salt Lake with one empty roster spot, but Ellinger said the club is actively negotiating to sign another left-sided player

Is he any good? Does anyone know anything at all about him?

I'm sure that Rojas will be glad to have a fellow national team member on the team.

He is good!
In the USA v. T&T back a couple of months ago you pretty much only heard two names on the T&T team and it was Rojas and Fitzpatrick.

Steve Pastorino, at the Loyalist meeting that was in the FO, said that they were trying to get him but there were complications.
So they have been trying to land him for quite some time... I hope he is worth all the effort.

Sweet. Left mid!


Possible future lineup:

......Kreis-Mathis
.........Williams
...Fitzpatrick-Selolwane
..........Kamler
Rojas-Dunseth-Pope-Pierce
.......Countess

One of many possible combos.

Notice that Fitz and Rojas would play on the same side, and hopefully there's already a bit of familiarity there...

Columbia University?

RSL: Last place in the Western Division, but we will kick your butt in on Jeopardy.

The flow to our team is starting to have a very Carribean beat. Rojas, Andy Williams and now Tiger Fitzpatrick.

Yes, it is. We need a good Marley chant now.
