Michael Nelson
30-Year-Old
Free Agent
MLS
Released from Houston
Nelson's contract has been waived by the Dynamo, the club announced Monday.
ANALYSIS
Nelson kept two clean sheets and conceded 26 goals across 13 MLS appearances (12 starts) since joining Houston from Southern Methodist University in 2018, but the winter arrival of Andrew Tarbell moved Nelson down to the third-string goalkeeper and 28-year-old is now leaving the Dynamo and becoming a free agent.
