Chile midfielder joins Colo Colo

Santiago, Jan 28: Chile intertiol midfielder Carlos Carmo has joined Santiago giants Colo Colo after agreeing to a three-year contract with the reigning Chilean champions. The 30-year-old passed a medical exam in the Chilean capital on Saturday after parting ways with US club Atlanta United, Colo Colo said on their official website.

“I’m happy to have arrived at a club like Colo Colo,” Carmo said. “To play in a big club like this was one of my remaining career goals. I’m very happy to be returning to Chile.”

Carmo has not played in Chile since 2008, having spent nine seasons in Italy before his 12-month spell with Atlanta.

He is Colo Colo’s second new signing this year, joining former Deportes Iquique goalkeeper Brayan Cortes. IANS
