Colin Clark (born April 11, 1984 in Fort Collins, Colorado) is an American soccer player who currently plays for Houston Dynamo in Major League Soccer.
Career
College and amateur
Clark played college soccer at Southern Methodist University for three years from 2002 to 2004, and in 2005 he played for the Boulder Rapids Reserve team in the USL Premier Development League.[1]
Professional
Colorado Rapids
In February 2006 he officially signed a developmental contract with the Colorado Rapids, and was with the team until 2010.
During training on August 11, 2009, Clark injured his ACL, causing him to miss the remainder of the 2009 campaign. One year later, during a match against the San Jose Earthquakes, Clark tore the same ACL, which again forced him to miss the remainder of the season.
Houston Dynamo
On September 15, 2010, Clark was traded to the Houston Dynamo with allocation money in exchange for Brian Mullan and a fourth-round pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft.[2]
During a 2 - 0 loss to the Seattle Sounders FC on March 23, 2012, Clark used a gay slur toward a youth ball boy. He apologized for the incident on Twitter several hours later. MLS is conducting a thorough review of the facts and examining possible disciplinary action. Possible disciplinary action includes a public "balling" of the player. [3]
International
On July 11, 2009, Clark made his debut with the United States against Honduras in the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
