Mauricio Rodrigo Solís Mora (born 13 December 1972) is a former Costa Rican professional footballer who played in the two positions of midfielder and defender. He represented Costa Rica at two FIFA World Cups.
Club career
[edit]Solís began his professional career with Herediano, making his debut with the club on 5 November 1990 against Limonense.[1] He would remain with Herediano until 1996, winning the last Costa Rican championship Herediano won in the 1992–93 season.
Years abroad
[edit]He then moved to England, signing a contract with Derby County along with compatriot Paulo Wanchope. His stay there was short, however, and he returned to CONCACAF in 1998, playing with Comunicaciones[2] of Guatemala for a year. Solís then moved to Major League Soccer, where he played parts of the 1999 and 2000 seasons for the San Jose Clash[3] (later San Jose Earthquakes), registering 4 goals and 1 assist in 29 starts.
After two years in MLS, Solís returned to Costa Rica, where he signed a contract with Alajuelense.[4] He played two seasons with the team, winning championships in 2000–01 and 2001–02, before looking overseas again, signing a contract with Greek club OFI Crete[5] to join fellow Tico Rónald Gómez.[6] After a year with them, Solís again returned to America, playing the 2003–04 season in Mexico for Irapuato,[7] after being brought to the team by former coach Alexandre Guimarães, then rejoined Alajuelense[8] and in summer 2005 returned to Comunicaciones to play alongside compatriots Rolando Fonseca, Ricardo González and Jhonny Cubero.[9]
Herediano return
[edit]In 2007, he transferred to Maccabi Netanya but his contract was terminated after preseason for certain complications so he came back to Costa Rica and decide to sign up for the teams he started his career Herediano.[10] In March 2010 he became the 7th player to reach 300 matches for Los Florenses.[11]
In April 2010, shortly after Herediano finish its participation in Costa Rican 2010 summer Championship, he announced his retirement from football.[12] However, he reversed that decision when he joined Ricardo González and coach Paulo Wanchope at ambitious second division side Uruguay de Coronado in February 2011.[13] He retired 5 months later.[14]
