ATTAK ADDS EXPERIENCE TO ITS ROSTER

Rachid Madkour

Veteran players Mohammed Nafe and Rachid Madkour came to an agreement with the Attak for the remainder of the 2007 CSL season.

Both players, native from Morocco, have participated in the Open Canada Cup final four, last weekend in London. Nafe scored a goal in the semi-final game against the Italia Shooters.

"Rachid Madkour and Mohammed Nafe are two great players, and these two players needed to be added to our final roster, as our road is still long and difficult," said Marc Dos Santos. "Mohammed will raise the level of leadership in our young group. Not only he's a great motivator, but also a very gifted player. He reminds me of the Porto win: the older it gets the better it is. Rachid is a natural goalscorer. He's very good technically and sharp around the box."

Nafe, a 36 years old defender, and Madkour, a 27 years old forward, have CSL experience as they played for the defunct Laval Dynamites. Madkour also ended the 2005 season with the Montreal Impact.

The addition of those players reinforces a team that, after the Open Canada Cup triumph, has now an eye on the CSL championship.
