Career

College and Amateur

Bueso grew up in Hialeah, Florida, and played college soccer at the Lindsey Wilson College. He is the only player in Lindsey Wilson history to be a four-time first-team All-American and, in 1998, became the first Blue Raider to be named NAIA National Player of the Year. He is the school's all-time leader in points (208) and assists (48), ranks second in goals scored (80), and helped lead the Blue Raiders to an 84-13-5 record during his career, including three NAIA national championships. He was voted to Lindsey Wilson's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004.[1]

Professional

Bueso was drafted in the first round of the 1999 A-League draft by Richmond Kickers,[2] and played for them for several years before disappearing to the amateur ranks in the mid-2000s.

After playing with the amateur Honduras Five Star (Honduras Cinco Estrellas) in the Copa Latina qualification tournament for the 2008 US Open Cup,[3] Bueso signed with Miami FC of the USL First Division on April 13, 2009.[4]
