    Josimar Coreas expects 2015 to be the best year of his young life, and he won’t be experiencing much of it in his native Alexandria, Virginia.

    After a winding path through the U.S. youth soccer landscape, the 18-year-old (pictured above, at right) has signed a professional contract with Mexican powerhouse Club León.

    After signing a one-year deal late last year and waiting anxiously for his work permit and international transfer paperwork to clear, the forward/midfielder has relocated from the Washington, D.C. region to the central Mexican state of Guanajuato to join León’s Under-20 team.

    Looks like he gained a lot of attention from Sueno Alianza: http://www.alianzadefutbol.com/nota.php?id=525&titulo=suenan-con-defender-a-la-selecta.php

    Sounds from that article like his interest is in playing for El Salvador.

    On player profile pages, there's a section that states which club the player has registered with for that season. Coreas is "Sin registro", which I take to mean he's without a club.

    Thanks. After I posted that initially, I found this more recent article (last week) saying he's currently on preseason trials with Real Aviles:

    I believe RA is in the fourth division, for the record.

    Looks pretty likely that he's back in the U.S. playing some level of amateur ball.

    Oh man I saw the notification for this thread hoping for an update since he went AWOL :(

    Shame, I was keen on this guy as a potential defender for the ES national team.
