The Kansas City Wizards have parted ways with midfielder/defender Lance Watson, midfielder Alexei Casian and defender Shahriar Dastan, the team announced today.

Watson, a second round draft pick by the Wizards in 2006, set career marks for appearances (20) and minutes played last season, in addition to registering his first MLS assist. Casian and Dastan both joined the Wizards on a trial basis this preseason.

The Wizards will be adding a new face to their preseason training camp as well this week, with Danish goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen set to join the Wizards in Arizona tomorrow.
