Former Furman Soccer Standout Ricardo Clark To Retire On Wednesday
Greenville, S.C. – Former Furman Soccer standout Ricardo Clark is set to sign a one-day contract on Wednesday to retire as a member of the Houston Dynamo, it was announced earlier today.
The Jonesboro, Ga., native played 17 seasons in the professional ranks, including a pair of stints with the Dynamo (2006-09, 20012-17). A three-time MLS all-star, Clark guided the Dynamo to MLS Cups in 2006 and 2007. He ranks second in club history in games played, games started and minutes played.

Clark will finish his MLS career with 36 goals and 28 assists in 357 regular season appearances.
