Rapids finally get their man in Irish striker Caleb Folan
Ex-Hull City FW officially in fold, may be key during busy summer
COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – Gary Smith finally got his man. After protracted contract negotiations, Caleb Folan is officially a Colorado Rapid.
The MLS Cup champions confirmed on Wednesday that they have signed the Irish national-team striker, who spent the preseason with the club. Per league policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The former Hull City man still had 18 months left on his contract with the English Championship team and it was a process to finally get the 28-year-old to sign on the dotted line once the two sides had agreed on the terms to buy him out of the loan.
Folan arrived in Colorado on Tuesday and worked out with the club for the first time as an official member of the Rapids on Wednesday
