It appears that this man is extending his career with FC Dallas.
According to the FC Dallas Front Office, the team has re-signed midfielder Dax McCarty, head coach Schellas Hyndman announced today. Terms of the deal were not released per team and league policy.
“Dax was a key member of the team this season and a vital part of the successful late-season run we had,” said Hyndman. “Ensuring Dax would be in a FC Dallas uniform next season was a top priority for us.”
The sixth overall pick of the 2006 MLS SuperDraft as a Generation adidas player, McCarty has spent all four years of his Major League Soccer career with FC Dallas. In 2009, he started 27 of 28 games, scoring three goals and delivering six assists, both single-season career highs.
In his MLS career, McCarty has started 71 games, tallying four goals and 15 assists in 4,777 minutes of play.
A native of Winter Park, Fla., McCarty attended North Carolina where he earned second-team All-America honors as a sophomore. He was a member of the U.S. Men’s Olympic Team during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, after helping the U.S. U-23 team earn its Olympic berth. McCarty is currently in Slovakia training with the U.S. Men’s National Team for two November friendlies in what serves as his first career call-up to the 22-man roster.
What do you think? Surprised Dax resigned with FC Dallas or are you just an FC Dallas fan who is ecstatic he is staying? For his development, is this a good or bad move? How does this bode for MLS and/or the USMNT if more young Americans are staying and playing in MLS? Is this resigning or the inclusion of Cunningham into the USMNT pool, the best birthday present that the ever excellent Buzz Carrick from the 3rd Degree could receive?

this is great news. i’m very very glad to see a solid young mls player choose to remain in the mls! it’s great for the league’s growth and stability. personally, i find it somewhat difficult to stay enthused about mls when in the back of my mind i know that if they perform well in the mls and a team from europe comes a knocking, they’ll be packing their bags and heading to the 1st bench they could find on european soil. these solid players need to stay here, in the mls, where the future of the world’s soccer is and where the fan-base is steadily growing.
my hat’s off to mccarty!
