WFC2 today announced the signing of centre back Danny Barbir. Barbir is 19 and has previously been involved in the youth set ups of Manchester City, Stoke City, and West Brom. Last year he signed a professional deal with West Brom but didn’t make a first team appearance and was released at the end of the year. Barbir also played for the U.S at the U17 world cup in Chile. After being released by West Brom Barbir trialled with the Philidelphia Union before signing with WFC2
As with many WFC2 signings, Barbir is a bit of an obscure name who many Whitecaps fans may not be familiar with.
