Strikers add Haitian international Jean-Philippe Peguero and up and coming Colombian Yoximar Granado to boost frontline.

 

Peguero is a player that can add leadership qualities to our team and will hopefully be another player who’s going to score goals for us,” said Head Coach Daryl Shore.

Peguero, 29, began his career with Haitian club Don Bosco in 2002 before joining the Colorado Rapids of MLS. Peguero played two seasons for Colorado, before signing with the New York Red Bulls for the 2006 season. After the 2006 season, Peguero signed with Brondby IF of the Danish Superliga where he played for two seasons. Peguero has also appeared for the Haitian National Team 19 times scoring 13 goals.

Granado, 19, hails from Cali, Colombia. Playing as a wide midfielder or as a removed forward, Granado will add yet another weapon to the Strikers’ offense. Granado is a product of CDEF Carlos Sarmiento Lora and has spent time with Argentina’s First Division side Quilmes, as well as with the Chicago Fire of MLS.
