DC United draft pick has seemingly signed a contract with FC Lorient. Anyone have more information on this?
does this look official to you? the official merlu site has a story. http://www.fclweb.fr/articles/article.php?idarticle=432
Jacobson's contract runs until the end of the season (end of June). I guess we could see this as an extended trial period. There is an interview of Jacobson's former coach at UC Berkeley on Football365.fr (http://www.football365.fr/infos_clubs/lorient/story_218281_Le-r%EAve-europeen-de-Jacobson.shtml). In it, he says that Jacobson told him he finds Lorient's playing style to be similar to Berkeley's. So he hopes to fit in quickly.
