HOUSTON, TX (Friday, January 23, 2009) - The Houston Dynamo have signed 23-year-old goalkeeper Tally Hall as a discovery player, the team announced today. A two-time All-American at San Diego State University, Hall spent the last two years playing for Danish club Esbjerg fB.

Standing 6-foot-4, Hall trained with the United States U-23 national team last year as it prepared for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He was a semifinalist for the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy, the award presented to the nation's top college soccer player, as a senior in 2006.

"I liked him when I saw him in college," Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "I always thought he was a goalkeeper that could play in this league and be an asset to a team. When we heard he might be available, we felt it could be the right fit. I also want to publicly thank Patrick McCabe, his representative, for working very hard in bringing Tally back to MLS and to Houston."

A resident of Gig Harbor, Wash., Hall will join the Dynamo for preseason workouts that begin on Monday, February 2. He will occupy a senior roster slot.

The Houston Dynamo are a Major League Soccer franchise that has won two MLS Cup championships in its first three seasons and represented the United States in three consecutive regional championships. The Dynamo will begin their 2009 MLS campaign on Saturday, March 21, taking on the defending MLS Cup champion Columbus Crew. Their 2009 season opens with CONCACAF Champions League play on Tuesday, February 24 at 9:00 p.m. For more information, please log on to www.HoustonDynamo.com or call (713) 276-7500.
