Junior Flores

Herber Omar Mejia "Junior" Flores (born March 26, 1996) is an American soccer player who currently is a free agent.

Early life Junior Flores was born in Los Angeles, California to Salvadoran parents, before moving to Manassas Park, Virginia when he was a child. He attended Manassas Park High School and, as a freshman, led the school to the Group A state title. During his youth, he played for the LMVSC Hawks, coached by Paul Ngend. He then went to the McLean Youth Soccer Club in McLean, Virginia. Before he was able to play for them, IMG Academy Bradenton invited Flores to join their program. After his performance in the 2011 Nike International Friendlies tournament, where the 15-year-old Flores had one assist vs. France, two assists vs. Brazil and scored the game-winning goal vs. Turkey, Flores received offers from many MLS clubs, as well as offers from abroad. Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool were among several European clubs interested in Flores, but ultimately, he signed with Borussia Dortmund in a four-year contract effective once Flores turned 18.

International Flores has played for both the United States U17 and the United States U20 national teams.
