Brian Roberts (born August 28, 1982, in Los Angeles, California) is a retired American soccer defender who played for the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer.

Player

[edit]

Roberts played college soccer at Yale University from 2000 to 2003; as a sophomore and a junior, he was named second-team All-Ivy, and as a senior he was named to the first team. In addition, he started every Yale game during his four-year career at the school.

Upon graduating, Roberts went undrafted, but was signed as a developmental player by the Wizards. The team promptly loaned him to the A-League's Minnesota Thunder, where he spent all of the 2004 season. With the Thunder, he appeared in 16 games, playing 1172 minutes from a fullback position, garnering one assist.

Administrative

Following the 2006 season, Roberts retired as a player and joined the Wizards front office as an executive for youth sales.[1]
