The Vancouver Whitecaps made one move ahead of the MLS roster freeze, adding Trinidadian Carlyle Mitchell.
Mitchell, a centreback, last played for Joe Public in the T&T league. He has three caps for the Caribbean nation.
According to Whitecaps’ management they were attracted to the 24-year-old because he’s is “a young, athletic prospect that provides additional depth to the centre back position.”
There isn’t a great history of T&T league players making the jump to MLS and at 24 it’s fair to ask whether Mitchell has much upside – especially for a player that will take up an international slot.
