Galaxy goalkeeper Dan Kennedy officially announces retirement

goalkeeper Dan Kennedy, one of the top keepers in Major League Soccer during his days with Chivas USA, officially announced his retirement from professional soccer Tuesday.

A 2012 MLS All-Star, Kennedy played 10 MLS seasons, appearing with the New York MetroStars and FC Dallas in addition to Chivas USA and the Galaxy. He made 163 appearances, 485 saves and posted 33 shutouts.

Although Kennedy, 34, has been listed on the Galaxy roster all year, he hasn’t been in the locker room during the regular season. Team officials confirmed last month that Kennedy was retiring but had to work out specifics of his contract and how that would impact the team’s salary cap before the retirement could be made official.
