Chicago Rush News Release
May 31, 2007 - The Chicago Rush welcomed its all-time leading receiver, Etu Molden, back to the team this afternoon when Molden signed a contract through the end of the season, the Rush announced today. To make room on the roster, the Rush released wide receiver Andy McCullough.
Molden, who was released yesterday by the Las Vegas Gladiators, will join the Rush in Los Angeles and is expected to see action in Saturday night's game against the LA Avengers.
"It's great to have Etu back with the Rush," said Rush head coach Mike Hohensee. "I think it will give the team a nice shot in the arm for the stretch run. He is a proven winner who should fit right back into the lineup. And now that we have brought Etu back to Chicago, the only thing left for us to do this season is bring the ArenaBowl trophy back as well."
Molden (6-2, 195, Montana) spent the first three seasons of his AFL career with the Rush, before being released at the end of training camp this season.
In his three seasons in a Rush uniform, Molden caught 264 passes for 3,132 yards and scored 71 touchdowns. He was named to the league's All-Rookie team in 2004 and the All-Ironman team in 2005. Last season, despite missing four regular season games due to injury, he still led the Rush with 67 receptions.
With Las Vegas this year, Molden played in eight games, catching 61 passes for 816 yards and 12 touchdowns.
