Colorado Rapids 2 continued their flurry of roster moves on Thursday by announcing the acquisition of 18-year-old Brazilian striker Caique de Brito Cerqueira on loan from Brazilian second division side Canaã EC.
“Caique is a player our scouts believe can develop into a physically dominant player in our league and beyond”, Rapids 2 General Manager Brian Crookham said in a statement Thursday morning. “His athletic profile, ability to bring others into the game with his back to goal and willingness to consistently threaten in front of the goal make him a very exciting prospect that will fit well with the group we have assembled.
