Following his release from DC, Salas bounced around the American lower-leagues, playing for [Northern Virginia Royals](/source/Northern_Virginia_Royals) in the [USL Second Division](/source/USL_Second_Division), and the amateur [Indios USA](/source/Indios_USA) in the [National Premier Soccer League](/source/National_Premier_Soccer_League), before signing on with Bolivian pro team [Club Aurora](/source/Club_Aurora) in 2005. In 2006 Salas joined [Municipal Real Mamore](/source/Municipal_Real_Mamore) on a one-year loan.
