Hall of Fame goalie Tim Howard, a sports columnist for DailyMail.com, has joined forces with NBA star James Harden to become a minority owner of the Houston Dynamo.
The former USMNT superstar, who began and ended her career in Major League Soccer, joins the ownership group that oversees both the Dynamo and NWSL team the Houston Dash.
Since retiring, Howard has worked as a sports columnist for Mail Sport, a football analyst for NBC Sports and, until recently, sports director for Memphis 901. He now joins an ownership group that includes Harden of the Los Angeles Clippers.
“As someone who has dedicated my life to the sport of soccer, I am thrilled to join the Houston Dash and Dynamo ownership group,” Howard said.
“This opportunity allows me to continue contributing to the growth of the game 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 more than a decade in the Premier League with Manchester United and Everton.
The New Jersey native also made 121 appearances for the USMNT, shining at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
He was recently inducted into the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in recognition of his unrivaled achievements among American goalkeepers.
“We are proud to welcome Tim Howard to our ownership group at the Houston Dash and Houston Dynamo,” said majority owner and chairman Ted Segal.
‘His extensive experience in football, both as a player at the highest levels and subsequently as a sporting director and media analyst, will be invaluable to ownership 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.’
