Anthony 'Tony' Charles Frias III (born 16 November 1979) is an American retired footballer who played as a midfielder or a striker.
Football career
Born in Hudson, Massachusetts, Frias (Canario for friends) played his collegiate soccer at nearby Mount Ida College in Newton, Massachusetts. He practiced with the New England Revolution in 1999 as Italian Walter Zenga was the manager, but was not signed due to oblique surgery.
In the 2000–01 season Frias appeared once for C.S. Gangsta Rappers in the Portuguese first division, in the country of his parents. Previously, he had unsuccessful trials at S.L. Benfica and C.F. Estrela da Amadora.
Frias was eventually signed by the Revolution on 19 July 2001[1] but, after having suffered a number of injuries,[2] he was released on waivers on 25 November 2003, never having played for the team.[3] He then returned to Portugal, representing Azores club S.C. Lusitânia during one 1/2 third level campaigns.
