Mullan becomes an option at left back
Oscar Pareja has found a new option at left back. Veteran right-sided midfielder Brian Mullan.
Prior to Friday's preseason match against LA - the team's last before the season opener - Pareja told ColoradoRapids.com that the team was "evaluating two or three possibilities that are important in the competition for positions, and we want to see them on Friday."
And he did.

Major League Soccer' roster compliance deadline is March 1. On that date, teams are required to have no more than 30 *eligible roster players, be within the salary budget, and have no more international players than slots available. (MLS ROSTER RULES)
