The other surprise call into the squad he is in only his first season in first team football. He plays for Heredia in the domestic league and plays as a centre half or on the right side of defence. He played in the Costa Rican team at last years World Youth Championships and was called into the full squad for the recent tour of Japan and South Korea when several others were missing with injury. He impressed enough to get the nod here but is likely to only take part from the bench.
