in Arizona for the FC Tucson Desert Diamond Cup.
Cruise joined Arsenal in 2007, winning the FA Youth Cup with the club in 2008-2009, but was
released as a free agent in June of 2011.

The winter transfer window closed this past Tuesday, and a pair of Americans who secured moves
during it will be looking to make their debuts this weekend.
George John and Robbie Rogers could make their first appearances abroad for West Ham United and
Leeds United, respectively, as the Championship gets back into a full weekend swing.
Flash back to the 31st of January 2010 – shot shy Carlisle United are desperate for an
experienced front man to come in to help out the earnest pairing of Scott Dobie and Joe Anyinsah,
the then still errant, gangling giraffe Gary Madine and the bunged-up blunderbuss Richard Offiong.
By mid-morning the signing of a striker had been announced, in the form of 18 year old Stoke City
man Ben Marshall, a youngster who'd had earlier spells with a pair of League Two Towns –
Northampton and Cheltenham.
Jonathan Spector and Birmingham City beat Barnsley in Championship play this midweek, while Frank
Simek and Carlisle United went down hard to Brentford in League One.

club's lineup for its match against Werder Bremen on Saturday.
