Crystal Palace Baltimore continues to bolster their roster with top first and second division talent. The team's most recent signings are forward Yaikel Perez and Kenold Versailles.
Perez spent the last two years playing in the Puerto Rico first division, and won a league title with Sevilla Bayamon FC in 2008. The 25-year-old also played with Cuba in the 2005 Gold Cup. He was one of several players who defected to the United States during the course of the competition. Perez also spent time with fellow NASL club Miami FC in 2006.

Versailles joins the Eagles after spending the 2009 campaign with the Vancouver Whitecaps. He scored one goal in eight appearances with the former USL-1 side. For six years, the 25-year-old played in Haiti's top division, including four years with Racing Club Haitien, where he won a league title in 2002. He also was a member of the Haitian Under-17 and Under-23 teams during his early career.
Wednesday's friendly match against the Loyola Greyhounds will serve as a fundraiser to help the relief efforts in Haiti. Kickoff is at 7:00 pm, and admission is free.
