Earlier today the Rapids Undercurrent blog reported deals reached with key young stars. The press release just came out in the last few minutes, and the Rapids have inked 4 year deals with midfielders Colin Clark and Nick LaBrocca and defenders Jordan Harvey and Kosuke Kimura.

For me, Clark and LaBrocca were the key signings of the bunch. I have to agree with Mark on the Undercurrent blog comments, Kimura has been underwhelming. Hopefully this year he can step up his play.

Here is Gary Smith’s take on the signings:

“I am overwhelmed that these players have committed their futures to the club,” said Rapids’ head coach Gary Smith.

“They are all talented players that we felt we needed to make a commitment to from our side as well. I am pleased that they all see that their futures are bright here and I don’t see any reason why the potential that each one of them still has within themselves can not be fulfilled here.”
