Coach Carlos de los Cobos released 7 more trialists today and added 1, bringing the roster down to within 5 of the expected final count. 33 players remain in camp out of the 28-30 required by March 1. 21 of the 33 have contracts, 10 trialists remain, and 2 unsigned draft picks remain. There are rumors of more potential trialists floating around but time is running out. We are getting closer and closer to the look of the squad you will see on opening day.

- Alec Dufty - 23 year old goalkeeper from AC St. Louis. With the 3 goalkeeper requirement, the recent release of Dykstra (Klopas citing age), and the release of Glaeser, Dufty looks to have a great chance to take one of the 7-8 remaining roster spots.
- Shane Clarke - 23 year old English born midfielder from Boston United but most experience with Lincoln City. He had 68 appearances for Lincoln City in the last three seasons. Lincoln City has had a poor run the last few seasons, struggling to avoid relegation to League 3.

Skipped college to join Sampdoria but has been loaned out each season. Came on as a substitute against Inter Milan in a 2007 Italian cup match, otherwise no Serie A caps.

- Orr Barouch - Video 1 Video 2 Young Midfielder from Chivas USA Youth roster, part of "Discover Europe" tour.
