February 18, 2008

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Revolution have signed Honduran midfielder Mauricio Castro to a Major League Soccer contract. He will occupy one of the team’s eight international spots on the roster.

Per MLS and club policy, terms of the deal were not released.

Castro, 26, comes to the Revolution from CD Olimpia of Honduras’ La Nacional – its top division – where he played in the Lions’ midfield for the last year. Prior to Olimpia, Castro was a member of Honduras' Hispano (2005-07) and Universidad (2004-05) clubs.

Castro also earned four caps with the Honduras National Team during the 2007 UNCAF Nations Cup, the biennial regional championship of the seven Central American CONCACAF countries.

“We’re pleased we were able to acquire Mauricio,” said Revolution Director of Soccer Mike Burns. “We believe his abilities complement our current roster and allows us added flexibility with the lineup this season. We’re looking forward to Mauricio joining the club.”
