Michael Erush (born January 24, 1983) is an American soccer player for Miami F.C. of the USL First Division.
Erush played four years of college soccer at Loyola Marymount University from 2000 to 2003, where he played defensive midfielder and registered six goals and sixteen assists. During his college years he also played with Orange County Blue Star in the USL Premier Development League, where he played alongside Jürgen Klinsmann. Erush was not drafted by an MLS team, but was signed to the Colorado Rapids' developmental roster March 24, 2004. He was let go after an uneventful season and re-surfaced with C.D. Chivas USA, before being released without seeing any playing time.
After a strong performance by the US' Maccabiah Team at the Maccabiah in Israel, Erush signed for Hapoel Ashkelon. The contract was canceled and reports in the Israeli media claimed that Erush had to return to the US to take care of personal business. The son of Russian immigrants to the US, Michael holds both American and Russian passports. He is now playing for Hollywood united football club in Los Angeles
