D.C. United waives midfielder Moose

---

Washington, D.C. (Sports Network) - D.C. United waived Justin Moose on Tuesday so the midfielder could sign with the Vancouver Whitecaps of the United Soccer Leagues First Division.

Moose spent the past two seasons with United after being picked by the club in the first round (seventh overall) of the 2006 MLS SuperDraft.

"We believe this will be a great opportunity for him to go and get quality playing time in Vancouver and we wish him the best of luck," United General Manager Dave Kasper said.

During his first season with United, Moose tallied one appearance with the first team, coming on as a second half substitute in United's 1-0 win over Kansas City. He spent most of the season with the reserve team, notching one goal and one assist in 10 starts.

The midfielder factored in seven games (four starts) with the first team in 2007 and played in all 12 reserve team matches (11 starts), tallying two goals and one assist.
