TFC acquires Harden from Colorado for draft pick

Soccer Betting Lines

02/10/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Toronto FC acquired defender Ty Harden from the Colorado Rapids in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2011 draft, the Major League Soccer club announced on Wednesday.

"We are excited to have him on board with us," TFC coach Preki said. "He's a good quality, young defender and there are many things I like about him. He showed a lot of promise in his rookie season with the Galaxy and we hope he can add some toughness to our back line."

The 25-year-old Harden was a second-round pick in the 2007 draft. He started all 24 games that he played in, amassing 2,086 minutes for the Los Angeles Galaxy before being named the team's defender of the year.

In 2008, he stepped away from the game to pursue philanthropic endeavors before returning to MLS prior to the 2009 season. He joined the Rapids after the team agreed to a trade with Los Angeles.

Harden will join TFC at pre-season camp in Bradenton, Florida immediately.
