[edit] Club career
Enfield played college soccer at the University of California, Los Angeles for four seasons, from 2001-04. He appeared in 78 games for the Bruins, scoring 39 goals and assisting on 15. During his college years he also played for Orange County Blue Star in the USL Premier Development League. He was drafted in the second round, 15th overall, by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft, but waived at the end of the season.
[edit] Sydney FC
Enfield trialled with Australian side Sydney FC, throughout the second half of March 2007. In this time he played two 45 minute halves in trial games, firstly scoring against the Wollongong Wolves in a 3-2 victory and then having a hand in all three goals as Sydney beat the Marconi Stallions 3-0. On April 7, 2007 it was announced that the former U.S. U-18 and U-20 international had signed a 2 year contract with the former A-League champions.[1] He made his debut for the club on 9 September 2007 against Perth Glory,[2] coming on as a second-half substitute and becoming the first Jewish player in the A-League.[3]
In late September, a left knee injury suffered at training ended his season. Enfield underwent knee reconstruction surgery to repair tearing to both the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments, and is expected to return to training at Sydney in mid-2008.[4][5]
Enfield's future at Sydney remains unclear under new coach John Kosmina and will be pushing for a place in the team alongside a number of new signings when he returns to full fitness.
