    Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today that striker Darren Mattocks has obtained his permanent residency status (green card) from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. 
     
    With the acquisition of his green card, the Jamaican native is now considered a domestic player in Major League Soccer and will no longer occupy an international spot on Vancouver’s roster.
