Henry Ring

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Ring (born March 16, 1977, in Franklin, Tennessee) is a soccer goalkeeper, who last played for the Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer.

After playing college soccer at the University of South Carolina, Ring was drafted by the Chicago Fire in the third round of the 2001 MLS SuperDraft. Ring did not see any time in his first season with the team, and only played in one league game each of the following two years.

In 2004, he played in 28 league games, recording seven shutouts and starting for the East in the MLS All-Star Game. In the offseason, after Chicago welcomed back GK Zach Thorton and inexplicitly gave him back his old starting spot without a competition, Ring was traded to F.C. Dallas for a draft pick. However, Ring chose not to sign with Dallas, and after an unsuccessful bid at winning the outright starting job with the MetroStars, Ring retired.
