Dynamo in negotiations to bring back Ricardo Clark


HOUSTON -- The Dynamo are working to finalize an agreement to bring former MLS All-Star and US international Ricardo Clark back to Houston.

Dynamo president Chris Canetti confirmed to MLSsoccer.com on Saturday that the club is actively negotiating with the World Cup veteran and is hoping to put the final touches on bringing the fan favorite back into the fold.

“I can confirm that the Dynamo are interested in finding a way to sign Rico and are in the process of finding a way to do so,” Canetti told MLSsoccer.com. “Ongoing negotiations are occurring in an effort to bring him here.”

With the transfer window closed for making moves for players under contract, the Dynamo are focusing their efforts on Clark, who was released by Eintracht Frankfurt last week after finishing the season on loan at Stabaek in Norway

Dynamo finalize deal to bring back former hero Clark


HOUSTON – The Dynamo have finalized a deal to bring former club and country standout Ricardo Clark back to Houston.

After agreeing to the terms of a deal with Clark last Friday, the Dynamo received the final paperwork and an international transfer certificate on Thursday to bring the World Cup veteran back from German Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt through the end of the 2014 season.

“We have been able to conclude a deal to bring Ricardo Clark back to Houston and making him a member of the Dynamo once again,” Dynamo president Chris Canetti told MLSsoccer.com. “We have been tracking his career in recent months and wondering if the opportunity would come up to reacquire him and now that it has, we were able to find a suitable agreement for all parties to bring him back.”

While the deal is finalized, Houston will have to wait to officially add Clark to the roster until outgoing center back Geoff Cameron’s move to English Premier League side Stoke City is completed. Cameron’s personal contract and a transfer agreement with his new club have been signed, but the deal is still pending him winning an appeal for a work permit, scheduled for August 8.

Until then, Clark will not be able to appear for the Dynamo in an MLS match, but can train with the club.
