Since I know there are not alot of Puerto Rican players outside the Islanders playing in the USL, I thought you might be interested in knowing that Yuri Morales, native of Puerto Rico and University of Massachusetts grad, has signed with the Portland Timbers. Here is his bio from the UMass site:

http://umassathletics.cstv.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/morales_yuri00.html

He had recently been on a trial with DC United, and is also a part of the Futbol Against Racism in the Americas campaign:

(Scroll down to 4th story)

He had been signed by Danish Superliga club, Viborg FF, but had most recently been with Ølstykke in the Danish League 1.

Thanks a lot Allison.

After our top notch Islanders supporters research team got the info to me, I managed tpo talk to Yuri via the phone Monday night and he indicated that he was going to have something to announce very soon.

He was very cool on the phone and he agreed to an interview after he gets settled in so after a few weeks I hope to have it completed and posted on the Islanders supporters website, HIA www.hiapr.org

So true, he should consider playing for the Islanders! He can get aquianted with the island he was born on and play the game he loves for a living... can't top that. He is 25 though, not exactly a spring chicken anymore in terms of developing his game. Get down here Yuri!!! You won't regret it!!!
