In the second round Bruins’ championship tournament match against Loyola Marymount, Enfield had a goal and an assist.
Enfield was 15th overall draft pick in the MLS Super Draft by the Los Angeles Galaxy. In his two seasons, the Galaxy won the 2005 MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup title and were the 2006 U.S. Open Cup runner-up.
From 2007-09, Enfield was a member of the Sydney Football Club. Injuries to his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments sidelined him in September of 2007.
