Lecre MYFC Official Press Release (Japanese)
"I have been playing soccer for 16 years, and have played in 8 different teams in both the United States and Spain. I am going to do my best to lead Lecre MYFC to play in the Challenge League. Compared to the US and Spain, Japan is physically strong and I need to continue to develop both my speed and strength. My goal is to give everything I have to the team as a player, and to learn as much as I can from Japan. I would also like to study Japanese to a point where I can communicate with my teammates. My sales points are scoring ability, speed and high communication skills. Signing with Lecre MYFC gave me confidence and I am grateful for this opportunity."
