The Los Angeles Galaxy have acquired four-year MLS veteran Cornell Glen from the Colorado Rapids in exchange for the Galaxy's natural third round pick in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. The club made room on the roster for Glen, 24, by waiving forward Naldo da Conceicao.
"Cornell is a player who is always dangerous around the goal," said Galaxy head coach Steve Sampson. "I am excited to add another national team player to the Galaxy who will help us in our goal of repeating as MLS Cup Champions."
Glen, a Trinidad & Tobago international, is a dangerous forward who has recorded 10 goals and six assists in 41 career MLS games. He has also made 42 appearances, scoring 12 goals, for the World Cup bound Trinidad & Tobago National Team.
"Cornell Glen is an exciting and energetic forward who has proven he can score goals in MLS," said Galaxy Assistant General Manager Tom Payne. "He is an international quality player who we feel will fit in well with our squad."
Before joining MLS in 2004, Glen played for Futgot of Trinidad (1999-2000), Portugal's Adsanjonese (2000-2001) and CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh of Trinidad (2002-2004). Glen led CL Financial to two league titles in 2002 and 2003, scoring a combined 37 goals in the two seasons.
