Dallas Switches Moor For Ihemelu With Colorado

Colorado and Dallas have switched defenders Drew Moor and Ugo Ihemelu.

FC Dallas has sent defender Drew Moor, allocation money, and a second round pick in the 2010 Major League Soccer SuperDraft to the Colorado Rapids for defender Ugo Ihemelu.

Moor, 25, has spent his entire professional career with Dallas, which drafted him sixth overall in the 2005 SuperDraft.

Ihemelu, 26, is reunited with his college coach, Shellas Hyndman. He joined MLS one pick ahead of Moor in the same year, linking up with the Los Angeles Galaxy, with whom he won the MLS Cup in his rookie year. In 2007 he moved to Colorado.

“Ugo Ihemelu is a talented player with tremendous speed that will be a key member of our back line,” Dallas head coach Hyndman said. “In my time here, we haven’t had that natural right back we have needed and we believe Ugo will provide that for us moving forward. We would also like to thank Drew Moor for his service to this team the past four years and wish him well in Colorado.”
