Vancouver Whitecaps continue to tinker with their roster with just over a week to go before the start of the 2013 MLS season.
The Caps latest addition is 23-year-old Honduran centre back Johnny Leverón, who captained the Honduran national team at the London 2012 Summer Olympics. "Johnny is a left-footed centre back who is very comfortable on the ball," said Martin Rennie, Whitecaps FC head coach . "He's still young but he's captained the Honduran Olympic team and has already played a number of games for the senior national team. He has a very big upside and we are really excited to welcome him to Vancouver."
Leverón joins Whitecaps FC after spending three years with Honduran side Club Deportivo Motagua. In 83 appearances with C.D. Motagua in the Liga Nacional de Fútbol Profesional, the 5-foot-11, 160-pound centre back scored nine goals.
