Troy Perkins is on his way out of DC United and MLS. He is headed to Valerenga, an Oslo based Norwegian team. DC United acquired Zach Wells from Houston Dynamo last week.
Valerenga paid somewhere around three quarters of a million dollars for Troy Perkins and signed him to a contract that will get him about $200,000/year, which is a little over twice what he was making at DC United.
Perkins started out on a development contract in 2004 making $850/month. He worked his way up to goalkeeper of the year last year.
Good luck in Norway Troy!
