Rapids Welcome Back Marshall After Picking Him In Re-Entry Process

The defending Major League Soccer champion Colorado Rapids have reunited themselves with defender Tyrone Marshall after signing him to a new contract for the 2011 season Monday.

Marshall, originally the 11th overall pick in the 1998 MLS College Draft, became the 16th pick in Stage 2 of the league's new Re-Entry Draft December 15 after being released by the Seattle Sounders.

In his career, spanning five teams -- the Rapids, Miami Fusion, Los Angeles Galaxy, Toronto FC and the Sounders -- he has scored 16 goals and 20 assists in 294 games, 250 of which he started.

The 294 games played is ninth most among active players and 15th most all-time.

Marshall is a two-time MLS All-Star (2003 and 2005), a two-time MLS Cup champion (2002 and 2005) and a three-time Lamar Hunt US Open Cup champion (2005, 2009, 2010).

He has also scored goals in 70 appearances with the Jamaican National Team.
