Sancho signs with Rochester Rhinos
oursportscentral.com

Rochester Rhinos President Matthew Ford announced today that the club has signed experienced Trinidad and Tobago International Brent Sancho to a two -year contract. The deal is subject to USL and USSF approval.

"Brent brings a wealth of experience and he'll add an extra dimension to our defense," said Rhinos President and General Manager Matthew Ford. "We'll be looking for Brent to make an immediate impact and give us great leadership in the back."

Sancho, a 6'1", versatile defender from Trinidad and Tobago has traveled Europe in recent years gaining experience in both the English and Scottish leagues. Sancho initially signed for Dundee in 2003, making 48 appearances before a transfer to English League 1 side Gillingham, where Sancho went on to make 45 first team appearances.

Sancho saw success in the college game here in the United States, leading St. John's to a NCAA Division 1 National Championship in 1996. After a short stint in USL with Charleston and Portland, Sancho moved his trade back to the Carribean, playing 58 games for Joe Public prior to his move to the United Kingdom.

Sancho, a veteran of 43 Trinidad and Tobago international caps at the senior level, played all three games in the 2006 World Cup Finals in Germany, making him only the second Rhinos player to have represented his country at the World Cup Finals. Former Rhino Onandi Lowe represented Jamaica at the 1998 World Cup Finals in France.

Sancho is expected in Rochester for the start of the Rhinos training camp, set to commence on March 19.

Good for him, Rhinos should be an MLS teams by now though.

I don't understand why MLS bracing Rochester so hard. The metro area has over a million people and the rhinos have been averaging crowds over 10k for the last 10 years in the USL. If they were to move up they would be the only major league sports team in the city so attendence would most certainly increase.

Their attendence isn't far behind MLS attendences especially considering this article:MLS systematically lies about its attendance
