Former Seattle Sounders forward Herculez Gomez announced his retirement on Tuesday, and the support poured in from across Major League Soccer and beyond.
Gomez, 34, will join ESPN as an analyst for the network’s English- and Spanish-language broadcasts.
“I’m so grateful for the years that this game has given me, and I’d like to say thanks to every coach, teammate and fan that has helped me along the way,” said Gomez. “It’s never easy to close the book on your playing career, but I’m very excited to join ESPN and continue to grow the game of soccer throughout the U.S. and Mexico.”
Gomez made his ESPN debut on Tuesday covering MLS Media Day in Los Angeles, Calif.
