    The club's website doesn't work for me, but enough evidence seems to point to this guy being at CD Municipal Limeño in the first division, and a Yank, to be worth posting.

    Here's some news from September on his expected signing -- it has him as American with Salvadoran and Honduran blood:

    Con la confirmación de la salida de Britez, la dirigencia oriental espera inscribir al estadounidense Wilfredo Cienfuegos, un volante ofensivo de 20 años, hijo de padre salvadoreño y madre hondureña, pero sin pasaporte cuscatleco.

    Cienfuegos hizo la pretemporada con el equipo de Santa Rosa de Lima y el equipo quería arreglarle papeles para que jugara como nacional. Sin embargo, ahora con el cupo de Britez disponible, lo inscribirán como extranjero.

    Limeño tiene hasta el miércoles para inscribir a Cienfuegos.​

    A couple of sites list him as American-born, and he's listed on the DA site as a '96 who played with Texas Rush. This one has him as a '97, and says he has several appearances for the club.

    T'Markt lists a Salvadoran YNT appearance.

    Salvadoran blood....named Cienfuegos....possible son of Mauricio? I know Mauricio is involved with the Galaxy Academy. Cienfuegos isn’t an uncommon name but born in ‘97 and Mauricio came to the Galaxy in ‘96. It may be a stretch but I was just trying to connect dots. :)

    Not gonna get into that, but I did learn just now that, small worlds being what they are, Mauricio Cienfuegos' wife's name is "Reyna."

    He is now at Municipal Limeno. You might also want to edit the thread title from “Willy” to “Gato” ;)
