Jata Still On Trial With Charleston Battery

After spending almost two weeks with the Charleston Battery and surviving numerous cuts, Richard Jata still awaits the fate of his future in professional soccer. The USL season starts on April 11th, which gives the Charleston coach just 5 days to decide whether or not Jata is the right fit for the team. The Battery tied the Wilmington Hammerheads the other day, where fellow MLS Combine participant Calum Angus is on trial.

With the MLS season clearly underway, the chances of Jata returning to the Chicago Fire are getting slimer. If the Battery sign Jata in the next few days, the Fire will be left without his services for the entire season. This could be a big signing for the Charleston Battery and a big loss for the Fire. However, if Jata only signs a one-year contract, the Fire can still bring him back for next years' preseason.
