USMNT legend and DailyMail.com columnist Tim Howard lands new role alongside NBA star James Harden with MLS team Houston Dynamo

Hall of Fame goalie Tim Howard, a sports columnist for DailyMail.com, has joined NBA star James Harden as a minority shareholder in the Houston Dynamo.

The former USMNT superstar, who started and ended his career in Major League Soccer, joins the ownership group overseeing both the Dynamo and NWSL club Houston Dash.

Since his retirement, Howard has worked as a sports columnist for Mail Sport, as a soccer analyst for NBC Sports and, until recently, as sports director of Memphis 901. He is now part of an ownership group that includes Harden of the Los Angeles Clippers.

“As someone who has dedicated his life to the game of football, I am very pleased to join the ownership group of the Houston Dash and Dynamo,” said Howard.

“This opportunity gives me the chance to further contribute to the growth of the sport in the United States and connect with the passionate soccer fans who call Houston home.”

Howard brings a wealth of experience to the club, having spent over a decade in the Premier League with Manchester United and Everton.

The New Jersey native also played 121 games for the U.S. national team, including at the 2010 and 2014 World Championships.

He was recently inducted into the US Soccer Hall of Fame in recognition of his unparalleled achievements among American goalkeepers.

“We are proud to welcome Tim Howard to our ownership group at Houston Dash and Houston Dynamo,” said majority owner and chairman Ted Segal.

‘His wealth of experience in football, both as a player at the highest level and later as a sporting director and media analyst, will be invaluable to the owners as we continue to build a competitive and successful organisation.

“Additionally, Tim’s commitment to using his unique platform to positively impact communities in need aligns with our organization’s values.”
