Career
Club
González began his club career with CS Herediano in 2000. He stayed with the team until his transfer to Municipal Liberia, also known as Liberia Mia. On July 2, 2009, it was announced that he was signed to Seattle Sounders FC of Major League Soccer.[1][2]
Upon signing González, Coach Sigi Schmid said, “It’s nice to have a naturally left-footed player. He can play left back, play center back in a pinch, and he can also play wide and run the whole line for us. He is an attacking left fullback with good size and athleticism. He’s very willing to get forward out of a defensive position and does a good job defensively.”[1]
International
González has made 60 appearances for the Costa Rica national football team,[3] and played at the 2006 FIFA World Cup as well as the CONCACAF Gold Cup. He was also selected to play in the UNCAF Nations Cup 2007. In his first international game, he scored against Honduras.[4]
