Elder statesman Bobby Burling is eager for success with his hometown team

This will be Bobby Burling's 10th season in Major League, in a career which has been spent mainly in California with the likes of San Jose Earthquakes and Chivas USA. The 2016 campaign will be his second season in Colorado, playing for the team he grew up watching. Richard Clarke caught up with Burling during preseason.

How pleased are you to have returned to the club?

I’m extremely happy to be back. This is a club that I followed as a youth and I’ve seen where it’s come from playing at old Mile High Stadium to where it is today with the beautiful facility we have at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
