San Jose, CA (Sports Network) - The San Jose Earthquakes signed Colombian
midfielder Tressor Moreno on Thursday, pending receipt of his P-1 visa.
Moreno, 33, has played for clubs in Colombia, France, Chile, Mexico and Peru,
and played 32 matches for Colombia's national team from 2000-07.
"Tressor has great vision and is a terrific passer of the ball," said San Jose
manager Frank Yallop. "He's a proven No. 10 at the international level and is
coming off a successful season in Chile.
"He brings a new element to our squad that we've been looking for and we're
excited to have him."
An attacking midfielder, his club stops include San Luis in Mexico. Moreno had
17 goals and 14 assists in all competitions for the club. Moreno was last with
Santiago Wanderers in Chile.
"Tressor is a classic No. 10," said Quakes general manager John Doyle. "He's a
guy who can dictate the tempo of a game and really take control for us. He has
the ability to score goals, but more importantly can set other guys up."
Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
