U.S. backup goalkeeper headed to Germany
For as long as I can remember, the U.S. men's national team has always possessed a surplus of quality goalkeepers.
For whatever reason, we produce top-flight goalkeepers (Tim Howard, Kasey Keller, Brad Friedel) but we can't get a couple homegrown goal-scorers to come up at the same time. Make of that what you will.
Anyways, U.S. goalkeeper David Yelldell (born in Stuttgart, Germany to an American father) has signed with German club Bayer Leverkusen. He most recently played for second-division side Duisburg and received his first CAP with the U.S. men's national team this year.
Yelldell is expected to be a backup for Leverkusen's Germany goalkeeper Rene Adler.
Leverkusen will play in the Champions League after finishing second last season in the Bundesliga. The club gave no details about Yelldell's contract.
