The Houston Dynamo’s all-time leader in appearances and assists is no longer a member of the club.
The Houston Chronicle reported on Thursday morning that Brad Davis had been traded from his long-time home in Houston to Sporting Kansas City, and the club confirmed the move hours later. Davis, 34, spent the past decade with the Dynamo, helping them win two MLS Cups, serving as their captain since 2012 and being the last player to have been with the club for all of its 10 seasons.
“Honestly, it’s without a doubt bittersweet,” Davis told the Houston Chronicle. “You know how much this club meant to me and to my family. Honestly it’s been an amazing ride with ups and downs. The emotions since finding out have been all over the place.
“I’m disappointed. This is something that’s been obviously a huge part of me and who I am and who I’ve become over the last decade. On the other hand, I am excited about a new step, a new chapter, a new challenge for me in my career.”
The Dynamo received a second round selection in the 2017 MLS Draft and third round pick in the 2018 edition, as well as future considerations, for the veteran midfielder.
Davis, who will now be closer to his hometown of St. Charles, Missouri, finished the 2015 campaign with four goals and 10 assists in 30 matches. In total, the midfielder racked up 41 regular-season goals and 104 assists in his time with the Dynamo.
