Washington, D.C. (June 29, 2009) - D.C. United announced today the club has released defender Anthony Peters. The 25-year old was originally signed by the Black-and-Red on March 3, 2009.
“We'd like to thank Anthony for his hard work and contributions while a member of the team,” said D.C. United General Manager Dave Kasper. “We wish him the best of luck in his career.”
Peters made one appearance while a member of United, coming on as a 82nd minute substitute in D.C.’s 2-0 win over FC Dallas in the U.S. Open Cup play-in game on April 22. Prior to United, Peters finished his collegiate career at West Virginia Wesleyan College, where he was named the 2008 WVIAC Player of the Year. He spent two years at WVWC, a little over a year training in Norway and Iceland (2006-07) and two seasons at the University of Kentucky (2002-2004).
Broadcasting and P.A. Request: When speaking of the organization, please refer to the team as either “D.C. United” or “United,” but not “the D.C. United” or “the United.” We appreciate your cooperation.
