Houston Dynamo have signed 23-year-old goalkeeper Tally Hall as a discovery player. Hall has spent the last two years at Danish club Esbjerg fB, which he joined in lieu of joining Major League Soccer when he left San Diego State University.
“I liked him when I saw him in college,” Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said. “I always thought he was a goalkeeper that could play in this league and be an asset to a team. When we heard he might be available, we felt it could be the right fit. I also want to publicly thank Patrick McCabe, his representative, for working very hard in bringing Tally back to MLS and to Houston.”
Although he was drafted by the Los Angeles Galaxy in the 2007 SuperDraft, their rights to the player expired after two years, which allowed Houston to claim his rights.
Hall stands 6'4" and trained with the USA U-23 squad prior to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
