VANCOUVER Whitecaps striker Marcus Haber has today joined Albion for a four-day training spell.

The 20-year-old has just completed a highly-successful first season in Canada, scoring eight goals and recording four assists during the United Soccer Leagues First Division campaign.

It led to the pacey, 6ft 3in forward being named the USL-1 Rookie of the Year as well as the Whitecaps Newcomer of the Year and Fan Favourite.

Prior to joining the Caps, Haber spent two seasons with the Under-19 and reserve teams of Dutch Eredivisie club FC Groningen.

Born in Vancouver, he has also represented Canada at Under-17 and Under-20 levels and was a member of the Under-23 squad involved in qualifying for the Beijing Olympics in March 2008.
