The Puerto Rico Football Club of North American Soccer League (NASL) yesterday announced that Guyana international midfielder Chris Nurse will join the club for its inaugural season.
“We at Puerto Rico FC are all happy that Chris Nurse will be joining our team,” said Puerto Rico FC head coach, Adrian Whitbread.
“He is a born winner who has captained his country in World Cup qualifiers and other major competitions. He has a wealth of experience and has won several championships in his career, while being a true leader both on and off the field.”
Nurse is well known to Puerto Rico as he was a success here during previous spells. He has twice been a Champion at this level and also was a runner up in the NASL final with Fort Lauderdale in 2014.
While playing for FC Edmonton, he not only was voted team MVP by his peers, he also was nominated for the NASL Humanitarian of the Year award for his non-stop efforts in raising money in support of breast cancer awareness.
In addition to his club success, he has amassed 47 International Caps for Guyana, serving as Captain for many of those matches.
Puerto Rico FC will begin its inaugural season during the NASL Fall Campaign when it hosts Indy Eleven at Juan Ramon Loubriel Stadium in Bayamon on July 2 from 7:30 pm.
