Czech champions sign Costa Rican striker

Staying with Slovan Liberec, the club have confirmed the signing of Costa Rican striker Winston Parks on a two-year contract. The 24-year-old international, formerly with Locomotiv Moscow, said the Liberec signing represented "an opportunity for a new start" and was looking forward to the chance to play again in the Champions' League. Parks made his debut for the full Costa Rican squad in 2001 and played in the qualifying games for this year's World Cup in Germany. He has played in Europe since 2003 when he was signed by Italy's Udinese.
