At nineteen Cream returned to LA joining the Los Angeles Galaxy on trial. Cream played in two official first team friendlies, scoring on his debut against an Iran XI, the assist coming from USA soccer legend Alexi Lalas. Cream was offered a developmental contract with the club, however a management change saw Steve Sampson replaced by Frank Yallop. Yallop having not invited the player in for the trial, decided not to pursue the young striker any further. Cream subsequently returned to Europe.
