San Jose Earthquakes News Release


SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that the team has signed goalkeeper Andrew Weber to a multi-year contract. He will be added to the team's official roster upon the receipt of his ITC. Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"Andrew has good size for a goalkeeper and has done well in preseason for us," said General Manager of Soccer Operations John Doyle. "We think that he will provide depth at the goalkeeper position, and if he is called upon to play, we have confidence in his abilities."

The 6-2 goalkeeper played with the Montreal Impact of the United Soccer League First Division from 2006-08 and made 29 regular season appearances with the club. In 2008, his last season with Montreal, he appeared in five regular season matches and one CONCACAF Champions League match. During his first two years with the Impact, he played in 24 matches and posted a 12-4-8 record with 10 shutouts, while posting a 0.72 goals against average.

The Phoenix resident played his college soccer at the University of New Mexico, and started in goal all four years for the Lobos. He finished his career as the all-time leader in school history in games played (83), minutes played (7,681), wins (50), saves (350) and shutouts (25). He also posted a 1.18 goals against average in his career. He was a three-time All-MPSF honoree and was named All-Far West Region twice. As a senior he allowed just 11 goals in 20 games and set the school record for goals-against-average at 0.55. The team went 17-1-2 and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. In his junior season, he became the first goalkeeper in school history to score a goal, when his punt deflected off of a UC Irvine defender and into the net. He led the Lobos to the NCAA Tournament second round as a sophomore.
