Houston Net Kevin Harmse In Trade With Chivas USA
The Houston Dynamo sent a draft pick to Chivas USA for the rights to Kevin Harmse.
Jan 21, 2010 11:49:00 PM
Before he ever played a game for Chivas USA, the Goats traded Canadian international Kevin Harmse to the Houston Dynamo. Headed the other way in return is a conditional third or fourth round draft pick.
The 25-year-old midfielder previously enjoyed stints with the Los Angeles Galaxy and Toronto FC.
"Kevin is a proven MLS veteran and international player," Dynamo Chief Operating Officer Chris Canetti said. "By acquiring him, it helps address our need to add talent and depth in the midfield."
At the end of 2009, both of Houston's starting central midfielders' -- Ricardo Clark and Stuart Holden -- contracts expired. Both American internationals pursued options abroad, with Clark joining Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt. Holden most recently trialed with English Premier League club Bolton.
A right knee injury kept Harmse off the pitch for the half of a season he spent with Chivas USA.
