Snip: Down in El Salvador, Santa Tecla FC were keeping a firm eye on the amateur team's starting goalkeeper, Derby Carrillo. After agreeing on terms, the Salvadoran first-division club expects Carrillo to put pen to paper this week. “It's a different chapter of my career, something that can perhaps propel me to the [Salvadorian] national team,” a delighted Carrillo told MLSsoccer.com by phone from El Salvador on Tuesday.http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/07/11/american-exports-cal-fc-keeper-headed-el-salvador A big GK from California who played at SJU and, until recently, Cal FC: http://www.redstormsports.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/carrillo_derby00.html
So impressive in his first few matches that he's been called up to the national team: http://www.elgrafico.com/gol-nacional/13-gol-nacional/31009-derby-carrillo-incredulo.html
From MLSS: El Salvador call up Cal FC hero Carrillo “I always said, ‘Whoever gives me the first opportunity, I'm going to take it,’” explained the 6-foot-4 'keeper. “El Salvador came and I'm very blessed for what's been given to me.”
From his Twitter: Translated: "The Official Account of Derby Carrillo, Goalkeeper for the National Team of El Salvador and Santa Tecla FC." https://twitter.com/DerbyC87 Went the full 90 for El Salvador vs. Belize in the Copa Centroamericana on 1/27: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/el-salvador-belize/index/spielbericht_2288433.html I believe this means he's cap-tied, since the tournament is a feeder for the Gold Cup, which is in turn a feeder for the Confederations Cup. In any case, he also started Saturday in a league match in El Salvador: http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...ez-gomez-stays-hot-santos-laguna-warm-houston
He's returned to the States: Former St. John's goalkeeper Derby Carrillo will return to the United States and continue his professional career with the Atlanta Silverbacks after signing a contract with the North American Soccer League (NASL) team based in Atlanta. http://www.redstormsports.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/022814aaa.html
Yeah he's been there since February, after being MIA for half a year. His teammate is Pablo Punyed; another American who plays for El Salvador.

He left recently.
