Utah Based Player Update: Sergio Flores to Crystal Palace USA
If you are at all familiar with Desert Crown, you know that I do what I can to keep people informed on the whereabouts of Smithfield native Sergio Flores. Pretty much because he is the only professional player I run into on a regular bases.
To provide some history, last year rumors seeped out of Portland that the recently departed RSLer was joining former RSL assistant coach Chris Agnello and former RSL team mate Luke Kreamalmeyer at the Portland Timbers of USL-1. After seeing Sergio at the gym, after the USL season had already started, it was discovered that the rumor was unfounded.
Flores returned to the Bolivian league, where he played before taking a shot with RSL in 2005. That was last year. This year the Utahn is going to stay stateside. He told me that he had a tryout with Crystal Palace USA of the USL-2. The team is located in Baltimore and is run by English Championship (Second Division) side Crystal Palace.
Sergio reports to camp next week, March 7, and looks to make a great impact with his new club.

Hey McKid, Along with Kreamelmeyer, Cameron Knowles just signed a two year deal with Timbers as well. But I think Agnello resigned at the end of last season.
Thanks for the report. Excellent as usual.
Did Agnello resign or get fired? The Timbers were horrible last year.
That's a shame because I have always thought highly of Agnello from his Blitzz days.
Thanks for the kind words and the tips on Knowles and Agnello.
