Richmond, VA - (Friday, April 17, 2009) - The Richmond Kickers are pleased to announce the recent addition of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) alum David Rosenbaum and midfielder/defender Aziz Souare. Specific terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Rosenbaum joins the Kickers pro ranks after a two-year stint with the Richmond Kickers Future of the Premier Development League. The native of Washington, D.C. enters his rookie season after amassing nearly 1,800 minutes with the Future while contributing two goals and three assists. Most recently, he concluded the 2008 PDL season third on the team in scoring with a pair goals and assists for six points.

The 5'11" forward began his collegiate career at the University of Virginia. Playing a vital role off the bench for the 2006 ACC Champions, he made 28 appearances over two seasons, while adding two goals and three assists. Prior to his junior year, Rosenbaum transferred to VCU where he made an immediate impact for the Rams, notching two goals and an assist for five points on the season. Redshirted through injury his senior year, the aggressive forward made a full recovery for his final collegiate season in 2008, recording a career-high seven points on three goals and one assist.

Born in Rabat, Morocco, Souare is from Guinea but spent most of his childhood in Paris, France. Entering his rookie season, the 21-year old was discovered at the Kickers combine last spring.

In other roster transactions, forwards Fabian Dawkins and Pat Viray have been released from their contracts.

The Richmond Kickers return to the University of Richmond Stadium (just off the Downtown Expressway) on Saturday, April 18th to host the Harrisburg City Islanders and College Night. College students can present their college identification at the gate to purchase tickets for just $5.00. The first 500 fans through the gate will receive a Richmond Kickers t-shirt, courtesy of Dr. Babik and Crossridge Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, the official dentist of the Richmond Kickers.
