Brian "Cobi" Span (born February 23, 1992) is an American soccer player who currently plays for IFK Mariehamn.

Club career

Span started out playing for FC Westchester as a youth player at age eleven.[1] He stayed there for seven years[2] and then went on to play two years of college soccer at the University of Virginia, scoring 12 goals and registering 8 assists during that time.

During the summer of 2011 he trained in Europe with German club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Örebro SK in Sweden.[3] After his sophomore season that autumn, the winger felt ready to go professional but MLS did not offer him a Generation Adidas contract. Instead, the North Salem native signed a two-year deal with Djurgårdens IF in Swedish Allsvenskan.[4]

Djurgårdens IF

Span made his debut on May 20, 2012. He came on at the 65th minute, replacing Ricardo Santos, and played the rest of the match.[5] Three days later he scored his first professional goal in his first game as a starter to equalize 1–1 against Helsingborgs IF.[6] Span's contract was not renewed following the 2013 season.[7]

FC Dallas

On January 8, 2014, Span signed a contract with Major League Soccer and was allocated via a weighted lottery with FC Dallas, Chicago Fire, San Jose Earthquakes, New England Revolution and Real Salt Lake participating.[8] FC Dallas acquired Span on January 9 in the weighted lottery.[9]

Span was waived by Dallas on February 5, 2015.[10]

Orlando City

Span was loaned to USL Pro club Orlando City on April 2, 2014.[11]

International career

While not a recent national team participant, Span was a member of the U17 residency program in Bradenton, Florida.[12]
