With 1 goal and 3 assists in the first 4 games this season, Andrew Villalobos has become a huge part of
the Doxa Italia family.This week he heads off to Germany on trial, with the intent to get himself a professional contract (he has passed on his cell phone plan in preparation to make a name for himself in Europe!). Andrew took some time to talk about his trip and what he will be up to:
“Right now, I know I will be going on trial with FC Homburg, FC Saarbrucken, SV Eintracht Trier, possibly Kickers Offenbach and a few others I don’t remember. I got into contact with Thomas Dooley through my old agent Lisa WuFate. He was impressed with my play and so, agreed to also work for me and set some trials up for me in Germany with several teams from the second through fifth division. I went this time last year and things went well, but I was rushed for time and due to several unfortunate circumstances, nothing got finalized with any club. Thomas told me that the best option is to be in Germany so that it will be easier for clubs to see me play, which is why this time I plan to live in Germany for up to six months, giving me the best chance possible at staying. Nothing is guaranteed so I will take it one day at a time and keep you all updated! I have enjoyed playing with you all, and want to say thanks for taking me in. Good luck with the rest of the season boys, keep up the good work and win the title!”
More info on Andrew and his college career can be found on the UCR website.
