[edit] Career
[edit] Youth and College
Cochrane attended La Salle High School near Portland, Oregon[1] and played three years of college soccer at Santa Clara University, from 2001 to 2003. In his final year, Cochrane was named a second-team All American, and was a Hermann Trophy semifinalist.
[edit] Professional
Following his junior season, Cochrane signed a Project-40 contract with MLS, and entered the 2004 MLS SuperDraft, where he was selected 5th overall by the San Jose Earthquakes. In his first year, Cochrane was largely a backup for Jeff Agoos and Troy Dayak, but finished the year with 18 starts and 1459 minutes. Along with the rest of his Earthquakes teammates, he moved to Houston for the 2006 season. As of February 2009 Cochrane was one of only two members of the 2005 Earthquakes team to return to the 2008 Earthquakes squad, along with Kelly Gray. He was acquired via the 2007 MLS Expansion Draft from Houston.
He scored the deciding goal in the 90th minute for the San Jose Earthquakes on August 3, 2008 against the Los Angeles Galaxy in a match that would end 3-2 for San Jose. Cochrane was later traded back to Houston on August 14, 2009.
After the 2010 MLS season Houston declined Cochrane's contract option and he elected to participate in the 2010 MLS Re-Entry Draft. On December 15, 2010 Cochrane was selected by New England Revolution in Stage 2 of the Re-Entry draft.[2]
Cochrane spent the 2011 season with New England. At season's end, the club declined his 2012 contract option and he entered the 2011 MLS Re-Entry Draft. Cochrane was not selected in the draft and became a free agent.
[edit] International
Cochrane has played for the U-18 and U-20 United States national soccer teams. With Chad Marshall, he anchored the defense of the U-20 team at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship.
