Biography

[edit]

Born in Hudson, Massachusetts, Frias played his collegiate soccer at nearby Mount Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts. He practiced with the New England Revolution in 1999 as Italian Walter Zenga was the manager, but was not signed due to oblique surgery.

In the 2000–01 season Frias appeared once for C.S. Marítimo in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, in the country of his parents. Previously, he had unsuccessful trials at S.L. Benfica and C.F. Estrela da Amadora.

Frias was eventually signed by the Revolution on July 19, 2001[2] but, after having suffered a number of injuries,[3] he was released on waivers on 25 November 2003, never having played for the team.[4] He then returned to Portugal, representing Azores club S.C. Lusitânia during one-and-a-half third division campaigns.
