Commerce City, CO (Sports Network) - The Colorado Rapids acquired Argentinean
midfielder Martin Rivero on loan Thursday from Argentina's Rosario Central.
The 22-year-old Rivero debuted for Rosario Central at the age of 18, and made
30 appearances - including 16 starts - in the 2010-11 season in the Argentina
second division. He scored four goals last season.
"Martin is a young, dynamic player with a great deal of potential," Colorado
coach Oscar Pareja said. "His creativity and technical ability will give us
more options in attack, and we're excited to welcome him to the club."
Rivero will be added to the roster as an international player pending receipt
of his P-1 work visa, International Transfer Certificate, and a physical.
Per league and team policy, details of the contract were not disclosed.
