The Vancouver Whitecaps announced today that they are parting ways with 24-year-old midfielder Alexandre Morfaw and 21-year-old defender Omar Elmasri.
Cameroon native Morfaw joined Vancouver in 2010 when the club was still part of the USSF-D2 league, and was brought up to MLS when the club transitioned to the top tier in 2011. After having made six appearances with the D2 side, Morfaw participated in only two MLS matches this year (as well as numerous appearances for the Vancouver reserve and residency sides).

Elmasri joined the Whitecaps as a trialist this past August, and took part in three Reserve League matches.
New Vancouver head coach Martin Rennie is currently putting the Whitecaps players through their paces in a post-season evaluation camp, after which more player moves can be expected. The camp wraps up later this week.
