Adrian Cann

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adrian Cann (born September 19, 1980 in Thornhill, Ontario) is a Canadian soccer defender, who currently plays for the Vancouver Whitecaps of the USL First Division.

Cann had a distinguished college soccer career at the University of Louisville from 2000 to 2003. Cann immediately earned a place in the Cardinals' starting lineup as a freshman, starting 20 games for the team, and was named to first-team All-Conference USA. Cann would maintain this level of performance, being named first-team All-C USA as a sophomore, junior, and senior, and being named the conference's Co-Defensive Player of the Year as a junior and senior.

Upon graduating, Cann was selected 16th overall in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft by the Colorado Rapids. Cann played little for the team, however, and was released midseason because of roster restrictions limiting a team's international players. Cann then signed late in the season with the Impact, but saw little playing time for the team, playing only 256 minutes over 7 games.

In 2006 Cann signed with the Vancouver Whitecaps helping the team win their first USL First Division Championship beating the Rochester Raging Rhinos 3-0.
