Joseph Anthony DiGiamarino (born April 6, 1977, in Corona, California) is an American soccer player who last played left defense for the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.
DiGiamarino, nicknamed DiGi, attended
U.S. U-20 national team at the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship. He played four games as the U.S. went to the Round of 16.[1]
DiGiamarino became a regular with the Rapids in 1998 and played there for three seasons, mostly at left midfield. In 2000, he played for the
Bayer Leverkusen
.
But various injuries and the quality of the Leverkusen squad led to Joey not seeing any playing time in Germany. After two years in career wasteland, he came back to MLS, signing with the
MetroStars
in 2003. DiGiamarino was waived by them early in 2004, and was picked up by his original team, Colorado. But the Rapids let him go after the year. In five years in the league, DiGiamarino scored seven goals and added eight assists.
