Rapids Sign Armstrong From Academy

The Rapids took an important step today by signing midfielder Davy Armstrong. He's a local player who is the first to come up through the Rapids academy system and sign for the club. Being classified as a homegrown talent means that Armstrong takes one of the two protected homegrown talent spots on the roster and does not count against the salary cap. Hopefully this is just the first of many (clubs can sign up to 4 players a year from their academies) signings to come out of the Rapids youth system.
