Exactly.

"While there are no guarantees that Colvey will be signed by San Jose, the 21-year-old defender will report for preseason training this week and is now effectively on trial with the club...

"I am headed up to San Jose where their preseason camp will begin at the end of the week. I will just be training with the team and taking part in any preseason matches until the decision is made to either keep me on board or let me go."

Colvey grew up in the Marlborough Sounds before moving to Nelson where he attended Nelson College and played senior football for Nelson Suburbs, later being accepted into the Asia Pacific Football Academy and relocating to Christchurch for his final years of secondary school.

He then secured a scholarship to California Polytechnic State University where he has been playing for the past four years...."

"Being drafted, I feel like I'm right on the doorstep, and it's always been a dream of mine ever since I was a little kid [to play professional football]. But at the same time I know there is a lot of work to be done in order to make the jump into the professional ranks.
