Career
After an unsuccessful trial with Nurnberg in the German top flight, which an agent invited him to, Van Sicklen was drafted by MLS side D.C. United in 2005.[1] Despite this, Van Sicklen said initially that "playing professionally wasn't even on the radar" and that he "was satisfied playing Division I [college soccer]".[2] However, he only made two appearances for D.C. United, both in the CONCACAF Champions League, and eventually asked to be released.[3] Within half a year, he signed for Canterbury United in New Zealand amind interest from MLS clubs Houston Dynamo as well as New York Red Bulls.[3]
