Houston Dynamo signs starlet Navas Cobo

Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Wed, 03/10/2010 - 00:58

Houston Dynamo has signed teenager Francisco Navas Cobo to a first team contract.

The 18-year old joins the senior squad on a developmental contract from the Dynamo Academy and the club has high hopes for the Houston native.

Dynamo Director of Youth Development James Clarkson said it was a great opportunity for Navas Cobo and added that the Dynamo Academy was definitely headed in the right direction.

“To have a successful Academy, you need talent and opportunity," Clarkson said. "In Francisco Navas Cobo, we have talent, and through Dominic Kinnear's vision and support of the Dynamo Academy, we've been able to provide opportunity to Francisco and the other young men in our development system.

“This signing shows that the Dynamo Academy is working, and we look forward to the day when one of our Academy players makes his MLS debut."
