United on June 30.[1] He made his full professional debut on July 1, 2008, as a second half substitute in a 2008 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup third round game against Rochester Rhinos.[2] He subsequently played in the 2008 North American SuperLiga, starting his team's first two games against Chivas Guadalajara and Atlante,[3] and made six MLS appearances before being waived at the end of the 2008 season.
