Across State Lines: Harrington Retires

Former Sporting Kansas City midfielder, Michael Harrington called it a career this past week, retiring from professional soccer after playing for 12 years on five different teams. Harrington started his career with Sporting, back in 2007, appearing in over 150 games in all competitions for the club. He then spent time with the Portland Timbers, Colorado Rapids, and Chicago Fire before finishing his career last year with North Carolina FC of the USL. He’ll be well remembered for the April Fool’s joke played on him in 2010.

Also recently, two former players were named coaches, Dave van den Bergh was named head coach of the US U17 boys coach. He’s previously served in a number of positions in US Soccer, including coaching the U15 boys team. Also recently, former midfielder, Eric Quill was named the head coach of FC Dallas’ USL League 1 team, North Texas SC.
