Colorado Rapids forward Charles Eloundou has rejoined the club after beginning the season on loan with Rapids’ USL affiliate Charlotte Independence of the United Soccer League (USL).

The 20-year-old has played 228 minutes in his three starts for Charlotte so far this season. In 2014, he appeared in 11 matches for the Rapids, recording one assist during the match against Chivas USA on October 11.

Prior to joining Major League Soccer, the 5’7” forward spent the 2013 season with Coton Sport of Cameroon. He also has starred for the Cameroon U-20 National Team, and in 2012 scored eight goals in seven matches during U-20 African Nations Cup qualifying.

“This is the very reason why we loaned Charles to Charlotte,” added Paul Bravo, VP of Soccer Operations and Technical Director. “We wanted to give him the opportunity to get his match sharpness and he has justified our faith since he has been there. He has earned the right to come back and be a part of the group here at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.”

The Rapids take on FC Dallas on Friday night at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, kickoff 8pm MT. For more information or to purchase season tickets, visit www.ColoradoRapids.com or call 303-825-GOAL.
