Eric Miller joins Colorado Rapids from Montreal Impact

The Colorado Rapids acquired defender Eric Miller in a trade with the Montreal Impact on Sunday.

Montreal will receive the Rapids' top pick in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft and general allocation in exchange for the 23-year-old.

Miller, the No. 5 pick in the 2014 draft, played two seasons at right-back with the Impact.

"Eric is a rising young player in our league and with the U.S. national team program," Rapids director Paul Bravo said in a statement.

"He will bring added quality and competition to our backline. We are delighted to welcome him to the club.
