LA Galaxy keeper Dan Kennedy retires from MLS, joins team's front office

CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy goalkeeper Dan Kennedy has retired after a 10-year MLS career.

Kennedy announced his decision on Tuesday ahead of joining the Galaxy's front office and broadcasting teams.

The 34-year-old Los Angeles-area native joined Chivas USA shortly after starring at UC Santa Barbara. He spent seven seasons with the defunct club that shared StubHub Center with the Galaxy, becoming its franchise leader in games played and saves.

"I am incredibly grateful to have spent 10 years playing in Major League Soccer," said Kennedy in a statement. "I will walk away from my playing career proud of the time I spent in this league and how far it has come. I am excited to take this next step in my career with the LA Galaxy as I walk away from my time on the field."

Kennedy played for FC Dallas in 2015 after Chivas USA shut down, but lost his starting job there and joined the Galaxy before last season. He never cracked the Galaxy's regular lineup after injuring his groin in the 2016 season opener, making only three appearances.
