Career

Club

Salgado began his career at the youth ranks of top Mexican club Guadalajara. He courted controversy when he left the Mexican club side to pursue a career with the United States U-20 national team.[1] He had previously represented Mexico at U-20[2] and U-17 level.[3]

Salgado signed with Major League Soccer shortly after leaving Chivas and was made eligible for the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. In the meantime, he trained with the Vancouver Whitecaps,[4] Portland Timbers[4] and Everton.[1] He was chosen first overall in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft by Vancouver, and made his professional debut on April 10, 2011 in a game against Houston Dynamo. He scored his first professional goal in his full debut for the Whitecaps on April 30, 2011 against the Columbus Crew.

Omar is currently with Premier Club Fulham in a training stint

In September 2011, Salgado received a Spanish passport (by way of a Spanish grandfather), clearing the way for a potential move to Europe.[5]

International

After previously representing Mexico at the Under-17 and Under-20 level Salgado joined the United States Under-20 national team in 2010.[6] His first success with the United States came when he helped the Under-20 team capture the 2010 Milk Cup.[7]

Salgado was called up again for the 2011 Milk Cup as part of the United States U-18 in July 2011.[8]
