Alex Touche

In researching new signing Alex Touche, I've uncovered two unanswered questions. First, and perhaps the biggest issue with regards to completeness of information, is the apparent lack of a published birth date. I can't seem to find this either for him or his twin brother, Charles, so I've opted for the Birth year and age template, since the club lists him as 21 years old. Second, his nationality. His U. Penn athletics profile[1] states that his birthplace is London, England, UK, but media coverage around his signing states him as an Albuquerque native, due to time spent at the Albuquerque Academy[2]. While he may have American citizenship, I've listed him here as English, following the convention that players without a declared FIFA nationality are listed by their country of birth. If and when this information is published in a reputable source, it can be updated. Of course, the other option is to do a dual nationality, with two flag icons.
