McCarthy could be set for MLS move

Benni McCarthy’s agent, Rob Moore, has revealed that his client would be interested in a move to Major League Soccer.

The 33-year-old South African international is frustrated by the lack of regular first-team action at West Ham United.

Moore told the Sowetan: “He is frustrated at only being given cameo appearances. We’re looking at several possibilities. Benni wants to play. He’s not a guy who sits on the bench and collects his cheque.

“He has maintained his correct weight since October. There are options in England and elsewhere in Europe, but I don’t think he would rule out an interesting move to an MLS club.

“It would be an opportunity to contribute to the game on another continent. We’ve had one or two discussions, and we’ll see what happens in coming weeks.”
