Marcus Tracy (born October 2, 1986 in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania) is an American soccer player who currently plays as a striker for Aalborg in the Danish Superliga.

[edit] Career

[edit] College and Amateur

Tracy grew up in the Philadelphia area and played for Beachside Soccer Club in his youth. His brother Ryan Tracy played soccer at the University of Pennsylvania.

He won the 2008 Hermann Trophy for the nation's most outstanding college player while at Wake Forest University and won the 2007 College Cup with the Demon Deacons. Tracy also made appearances for USL Premier Development League side Carolina Dynamo, although injury limited the amount of games in which he appeared.^[1]

[edit] Professional

Tracy was drafted by Major League Soccer club Houston Dynamo in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. Though he was expected to be a top pick, he was selected fifty-sixth overall, falling so low due to clubs having the knowledge of his contract with Danish club Aalborg. Should he return to America within a two-year period, his rights would be owned by Houston.

Tracy joined the club in Denmark and made his debut for Aalborg on March 19, 2009, as a substitute for Kasper Risgård in a UEFA Cup quarter final second leg against Manchester City.^[2] He scored the winning goal against FC Midtjylland on March 23, 2009, in his first game in the Danish Superliga.^[3]

[edit] International

On December 22, 2009, Tracy received his first call up to train with the senior US national team. Training in Carson, California will begin for Tracy and the other players called up on January 4, 2010, leading up to a friendly match against Honduras.
