Just a week after looking like he would be playing in Turkey, Heath Pearce is headed to MLS to play for a turkey of a team.
The U.S. national team defender has signed with FC Dallas, which acquired him via the MLS Allocation process. Pearce last played for Hansa Rostock in the German Second Division, but was released during the summer. He appeared to have a deal in place with Bursapor, only to have it fall apart during last-minute negotiations.
“Heath is a high quality player who can play a lot of different positions, and we are very excited to welcome him to the club,” FC Dallas Head Coach Schellas Hyndman said. “We are really focusing on making our team stronger defensively, and Heath is a hard worker who can help us in that regard.”
Pearce will join FC Dallas after his International Transfer Certificate is received (and after he completes three course credits at Southern Methodist University. Okay, the second part isn't true.).
What do you think of Pearce joining FC Dallas? Wonder what will happen with Anthony Wallace? Think Pearce would have been better off in Turkey?
