Snip: Benavides, a recent Grand Canyon University graduate who played as a right midfielder in the school's lauded men's soccer program, signed a contract with Austrian lower division club FS Elektra. He will join the team in December just before the European soccer "transfer window" opens in January.http://www.azcentral.com/community/...avides-signs-pro-soccer-contract-austria.html Looks like he's a '90 from Oregon. This appears to have been facilitated by the same Dave Irby-run program that has sent several other players to the Austrian lower divisions in recent years. http://www.gculopes.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=1051
Benavides appears to have moved down two divisions to SV Hirschstetten (down from 4th to 6th tier if I understand German Wikipedia correctly).
