Folan off to Colorado

Former Hull forward Caleb Folan has signed for the Colorado Rapids, the Major League Soccer champions confirmed.

Folan, 28, scored 12 goals in 58 games for Hull after being their first ever £1m signing in August 2007, but was out on loan at Middlesbrough last season. He returned to Hull in the summer, but had made only three appearances this campaign.

Folan, who also played for Leeds and Wigan among others, has seven caps for the Republic of Ireland.
