Oct 18, 2012

Cary, N.C. — The Carolina RailHawks are in search of players for the 2013 NASL season and will be holding a two-day open tryout on Saturday, Dec. 8 and Sunday, Dec. 9. The open tryout will be held in Cary, N.C. at WakeMed Soccer Park. Previous RailHawks tryouts have been a successful tool for finding talented players to contribute to the RailHawks squad, including current Chicago Fire player Daniel Paladini, who played for the RailHawks for the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

RailHawks head coach, Colin Clarke, assistant coaches and RailHawks management will be in attendance to evaluate all participating trialists. A minimum of two players from the open tryout will be invited to the RailHawks preseason training camp to take place in Spring 2013. Space will be limited.
