Ryan Latham (born November 18, 1982, in Dallas, Texas) is an American soccer player who last played forward for the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer.
Collegiate Career
[edit]Latham played college soccer for Southern Methodist University from 2001 to 2004. During his four seasons he appeared in 70 games, scoring 22 goals and assisting on 8. Latham made 14 appearances for the Mustangs in his final campaign, including 12 starts.[1] He scored four goals and recording an assist on 23 total shots.[1] Latham scored the game-winning goal in the 2004 MVC Tournament final and was subsequently named to the 2004 MVC All-Tournament team.[1]
Professional Career
[edit]Latham was selected in the second round, 21st overall in the 2005 MLS Supplemental Draft by the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.[2] He made his MLS debut in a 0-0 tie against the Colorado Rapids as a 79th minute substitute for James Riley on May 28, 2005.[3] He earned his first start on July 9, 2005, in a 1-0 loss to the Chicago Fire.[3] He appeared in a total of six matches, making one start, in his regular rookie campaign.[4] Latham also made an appearance in MLS Cup 2005, coming on as a substitute in the 107th minute for James Riley.[5] After playing irregularly during his rookie 2005 season, Latham was injured for much of 2006,[6] and did not make any appearances for his club.[4]
Perhaps Latham is most notable for scoring a 90th minute equalizing goal for New England in a mid-season friendly with Scottish giants Celtic Football Club, which finished 1-1.[7] Late in the 2006 season, on August 7, he was waived by the Revolution.[2]
