Former U.S. and Premier League goalkeeper Tim Howard is returning to NBC as an analyst when its coverage of England’s top division begins next week.
The network announced Tuesday that Howard will be a studio analyst. He did occasional game analysis during NBC’s first three seasons of the Premier League (2013-16) while playing for Everton.
Howard made 459 appearances in 13 Premier League seasons. After playing for Major League Soccer’s MetroStars from 1998-2003, he transferred to Manchester United (2003-06) and then joined Everton from 2006-16. He made a record 121 appearances for the U.S. national team, starting at the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
