Career

Club

Arguez was selected by D.C. United in the first round (eleventh overall) of the 2007 MLS SuperDraft.[1] However, he never made a first-team appearance for the club. Arguez signed with Hertha BSC of the German Bundesliga on January 25, 2008, for a fee of €200,000, having never played a competitive match for D.C. United.[2] Arguez made his lone league appearance on February 2, 2008, against Eintracht Frankfurt[3]

On 3 August 2009, Arguez was brought in for a trial by Belgian club Charleroi. Later that month, he turned down an offer from FSV Frankfurt.[4] After two years and only one Fußball-Bundesliga match, he was released by Hertha BSC in December 2009.[5] After his release, Arguez was invited to train with Brazilian team Flamengo.[6]

Arguez signed with Miami FC in the USSF Division 2 Professional League in January 2010,[7] and was immediately sent on loan by his parent company, Traffic Sports, to Estoril Praia, but he returned to the United States in April, having never made a first team appearance for the Portuguese club.[8] He subsequently played seven games for Miami, but was released by the team mid-season.

On February 22, 2011, Arguez was re-signed by the NASL club, now called Fort Lauderdale Strikers.[9] After a successful season with Fort Lauderdale, Arguez was signed by Major League Soccer expansion side Montreal Impact on November 25, 2011.[10]

International

Bryan started his U.S. international career with the U-17 men's team, collecting twenty-seven caps and one goal.[1] He has also appeared for the U-20 U.S. Team, with whom he has earned five caps, including three starts.[1] He was named to the U.S. roster for the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada, but did not make an appearance. Arguez then appeared twice for the U-23 U.S. team in 2008, both at the 2008 Toulon Tournament, but he was not named to the roster for the 2008 Summer Olympics.[11]

On September 29, 2009, at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Egypt, Arguez scored for the United States U-20 squad against Cameroon giving the Americans the first goal in what would go on to be a 4–1 victory.
