Richard Jata went to the Puerto Rico & Harrisburg City Islanders tryout in Orlando, FL with an open mind. Sure it wasn't the Chicago Fire, but all he really wants to do now is play ball. The coaches seemed to like what Jata did on the field, notching the only assist on a well-placed through ball in the final game of Day 2. Unfortunately, neither were looking for a center-mid so no immediate offers were made. With little time left until the MLS and USL seasons begin, it looks as if Jata will have to put his dreams on hold yet again.
However, this has given Jata more motivation than ever. Earlier today he talked to Joe Brown(Head Coach for the Carolina Dynamo) and told him that he wanted to come back to the team for the upcoming season. The Carolina Dynamo are one of the most prestigious PDL programs in the country so Jata has absolutely no regrets going to play for them.
Richard told me that he is determined to wear the Captain's band and lead the Dynamo to yet another successful season. His primary focus and main goal is to win the Lamaar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. With the possibility of competing against MLS and USL teams who passed on him, there will be no holding back. Not one bit!
