Japanese midfielder Jun Marques Davidson joins Vancouver Whitecaps
Vancouver Whitecaps have secured the services of Japanese midfielder Jun Marques Davidson.
The 28-year old comes to MLS from J-League Division 2 outfit Tokushima Vortis after almost a decade in his homeland apart from a short stint with NASL club Carolina RailHawks in 2010 where he played under Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie.
"He's a defensive-minded midfielder with a strong pedigree of quality and experience after playing in the Japanese J.League for a number of years. His passing awareness and ability to break up play in the middle is tremendous. He will be a great addition to the group."
Davidson added: "I am excited and thankful to Martin Rennie, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and MLS for this opportunity. I will do my best to help the club achieve its goals and look forward to celebrating success with the fantastic supporters in Vancouver.""Jun is one of the most technically gifted players that I have coached," said Rennie.
