    Well, look -- all I did was look at a club's web site. That's not exactly reporting.

    Still: You're welcome, guys.

    Transfermarkt says a '94 named Darius Strode on Werder Bremen's U21s (what amounts to their third team) is German-American:

    http://www.transfermarkt.com/darius-strode/profil/spieler/265609

    There's little mention of him on the club site for now, but there is this (from the summer):

    http://www.werder.de/aktuell/news/junioren/20162017/lz-aktuell/lzaktuell-18072016/

    FuPa has him as an attacker who has bounced around clubs. T-Markt says he's a left back. Cap him ... now?

    It's José Posada Lachowsky. He was born in Madrid to a Spanish father and an American Mother. I have no idea as to his dual nationality or lack thereof.

    Plays with Alcobendas C.F. in Madrid. Listed on the club site as part of the Juvenil "B" side. Alcobendas plays in the Spanish Third Division (Tercera División - fourth tier).

    Dennis Chin is confirmed as Jamaica born, but has been in the US since he was 10 (he's now 29). He is with the Ottawa Fury of NASL and they list him as Jamaican and a domestic -- meaning likely a Green Card as a minimum. He's done college as well as USL & NASL.

    He's just signed in Israel with Ironi Nesher, a newly-promoted second-division club. Since he is doing the "A" now, figured it might be worthwhile to find out if the "Y" applies.

    An interesting case that I'm surprised has no coverage here:

    Alex Reneau at AD Alcorcón in Spain.

    OWTY has him on their list: http://owhentheyanks.com/2014/12/30/class-of-2017-winter-update/

    This note was posted in an OWTY article last year:

    Also inform you that a US player currently playing in Spanish league Alexander Reneau was in England this past February. He was at Fulham for 2 weeks, one week at Reading, and 2 weeks at Tottenham. He played in their league games at center mid as a trial player and had a great experience. Furthermore, the end of March, Alex spent 5 days at Mainz academy in germany receiving very positive feedback. He continues in Spain’s maximum U16 league at least until end of June.

    [Note that the comment was left by "Daniel" which is Reneau's middle name].

    His Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/alex.reneau.5/about?section=year-overviews&pnref=about

    He also has a rare international page at TDS: http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/club-player-profile/alex-reneau/pid-101717 (which shows him as a Northwestern commit for 2017).

    For what it's worth, the IFA website lists him as an American. That typically means that he was registered with the IFA using an American passport. They're not great with putting the birth countries on their website, but the nationality is always correct unless the player is playing as an Israeli like Nico Olsak or Aaron Schoenfeld.

    They now say he was born in San Francisco and is at Stuttgarter Kickers. I've found him in some summer matches for them but not sure he's signed.

    Looks like it might be official per Instagram:

    Wikipedia lists four Tijuanamericans on the Tijuana Premier roster for this year. Three of them are confirmed by BigSoccer (well, DMN), but I can't seem to find anything on the fourth one, GK Mario Fernandez. He doesn't show up in my search of the Segunda Division database.

    I found what clearly appears to be the publicly available Facebook page of Cameron Sutton, mentioned earlier in this thread. He still appears to be with Cardiff City. His hometown is listed as "New York, New York." Top Drawer Soccer listed him from Westchester County, New York, though his profile there doesn't seem to exist anymore.
