Conor Doyle, Yuma Join Puerto Rico FC

Puerto Rico FC announced two new signings for the 2017 season today, signing forward Conor Doyle and midfielder Yuma.

He went on to play 56 games for United before being traded in 2016 to the Colorado Rapids.

Yuma is a veteran midfielder who rose up through the Rayo Vallecano Academy in Madrid, Spain. He made 62 appearances for the senior squad, then moved to other clubs. In all, he made over 200 appearances in his native country before coming to the United States to play for Rayo OKC during the 2016 season, where he was an integral part of the club’s postseason run.
