Tim Howard apparently couldn't stay off the field, coming out of retirement to play for Memphis 901 FC.

The goalkeeper was already a minority owner and sporting director for the USL Championship club, and he will add player to his list of titles.

"Since my retirement in October, my obsession for football has grown," Howard said in the team's announcement Wednesday. "The desire to win continues to drive me. I love to play and I love to compete, this gives me the opportunity to do both."

The 40-year-old spent last year in the MLS playing for the Colorado Rapids before retiring five months ago.
