Ronald Cerritos
*** Shopping-Tip: Ronald Cerritos
'''Ronald Cerritos''' (born
January 3,
1975 in
San Salvador,
El Salvador) is a Salvadoran
football (soccer) striker forward, who currently plays for
Houston Dynamo of
Major League Soccer.
Cerritos has spent the bulk of his career playing in MLS -- he was signed by the league
March 21,
1997, and allocated to the
San Jose Earthquakes San Jose Clash. Cerritos had his most successful years with the Clash and, subsequently, the rechristened Earthquakes; he was named to the
MLS Best XI in his first year with the club. However, in the offseason after the 2001 season, Cerritos was traded to the
F.C. Dallas Dallas Burn for
Ariel Graziani. He never was able to settle into Dallas, both having trouble earning a starting spot, and struggling with injuries.
After a year and a half in Dallas, over which he scored seven goals, Cerritos was traded to
D.C. United for
Ali Curtis and a first-round pick in the
2004 MLS SuperDraft. Cerritos again was largely unproductive in D.C., and was cut midway through the 2004 season because his play was not justifying his large salary, and returned to play for
Alianza F.C. Alianza in his native El Salvador. However, after the season, he came back to MLS and his original team, with San Jose acquiring him from DC for a draft pick. His 61 goals for San Jose is the team record. Along with the rest of his Earthquakes teammates, he moved to Houston for the 2006 season.
Cerritos has been a mainstay on the
El Salvador national football team El Salvador national team being the only foreign based player on the squad. He has made well over 40 appearances for El Salvadors national team. He made his debut aginst
Serbia and Montenegro national football team Yugoslavia on
November 12,
1995 and he scored his first goal for El Salvador in a 2-1 victory over {{nft|Colombia}} on
May 29,
1999.
