[edit] Career

[edit] Youth and Amateur

Myers came to the United States from his native Liberia in 2002, at the age of 16, settling in New Hope, Minnesota. He was a standout soccer player for Robbinsdale Armstrong High School, scoring 70 goals in his three years with the team, despite only attending from his sophomore through his senior year. He was named Star Tribune Metro Player of the Year as a junior and senior, only the second player in history to be so named (the other being Manny Lagos)^[1].

Following an unsuccessful trial with Major League Soccer team Real Salt Lake in 2006^[2], Myers played two seasons for St. Paul Twin Stars in the National Premier Soccer League and was again a goalscoring standout, netting 14 goals and registering five assists in the St. Paul's run to the 2008 NPSL Championship game. He was also named NPSL Midwest MVP in 2008^[3].

[edit] Professional

Myers signed with Minnesota Thunder of the USL First Division on March 23, 2009^[4], and made his professional on April 18, 2009, in a game against the Austin Aztex.^[5].
