Career
College and amateur
Myers grew up in San Diego, CA, attended Torrey Pines High School, and played three years as goalie at University of California, Berkeley.
Professional
Myers was signed by Chivas USA of Major League Soccer in 2007 as a backup goalkeeper, but never made a first team appearance for the side and was waived at the end of the season.
In 2008 Myers was signed by the Puerto Rico Islanders of the USL First Division, and was subsequently sent on loan to Sevilla FC Puerto Rico following the Islanders regular reserve keeper, Michael Behonick, recovery from a leg injury.[1] In September 2008 he returned to the Islanders squad after the Behonick suffered a hand injury, and he would go on and play his first match for the squad on September 21, 2008, the last match of the 2008 regular season.[2]
Myers has since also spent time on loan with another Puerto Rico Soccer League side, Bayamon FC.
