Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.C. United signed Liberian national team
striker Francis Doe on Tuesday
D.C. United acquired Doe's playing rights after the forward was waived by New
York on February 21. Per team and league policy, terms of the deal were not
released.
"We are excited about the prospects for Francis," United General Manager Dave
Kasper said. "He is a dynamic, young player who will compete for playing time
on our front line."
Doe, 22, has a lengthy resume, having played professionally in Greece, Ghana,
Cameroon and the United States.
While playing in the Cameroonian league in 2002 for Tonnerre Yaounde, Doe was
voted best foreign player and third best overall player. That same year Doe
also led the club to the CAF Cup final, netting six goals in eight CAF Cup
matches.
The striker ended the 2002 season with 12 goals in 17 matches.
In 2004, Doe moved to the United Soccer Leagues' Minnesota Thunder, before
agreeing to terms on a two-year deal with Greek club Atromitos. He went on to
tally six goals in 20 league matches his first season at the club. With the
club, he appeared in the 2006 UEFA Cup against Sevilla of Spain's La Liga.
In 2007, Doe returned stateside and signed with the New York Red Bulls. He
scored his first MLS goal and tallied an assist in a 2-2 draw against the New England Revolution and finished the season with two goals and one assist in
helping the club qualify for the MLS playoffs.
Doe started the club's first playoff game against the New England Revolution,
logging 68 minutes in a 0-0 draw, but was unable to play in the second leg due
to injury.
Doe represented Liberia in the qualifying round of the 2006 World Cup and the
2008 African Cup of Nations qualifying stage, scoring two goals in the latter.
