03/09/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Dynamo signed Dynamo Academy product Francisco Navas Cobo to a developmental contract, the Major League Soccer club announced on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old midfielder joins goalkeeper Tyler Deric as the second Dynamo Academy player in team history to be signed to a first-team contract.
"To have a successful Academy, you need talent and opportunity," Dynamo Director of Youth Development James Clarkson said. "In Francisco Navas Cobo, we have talent, and through [Houston Dynamo head coach] Dominic Kinnear's vision and support of the Dynamo Academy, we've been able to provide opportunity to Francisco and the other young men in our development system. This signing shows that the Dynamo Academy is working, and we look forward to the day when one of our Academy players makes his MLS debut."
Originally from Houston, Navas Cobo spent several years in Colombia before returning to his hometown in 2009. He immediately joined the Dynamo Academy, with Kinnear seeing him play several times last fall before inviting him on trial with the first team for the 2010 preseason.
