MONTREAL - Striker Eduardo Sebrango, the oldest player in Major League Soccer, announced his retirement Thursday.

He played seven games in MLS this season with the Montreal Impact. Sebrango, 39, was one of the top scorers in North American second division leagues with 104 goals in 270 games.

He won five championships in lower leagues -- two with Montreal, two with the Vancouver Whitecaps and one with the Rochester Rhinos.

A Canadian citizen, Sebrango also scored 16 goals for the national team in his native Cuba in the 1990s.
