Dylan Remick ready to prove himself with Dynamo

The immediate aftermath of winning a championship can be a whirlwind. Dylan Remick in December experienced all of the normal emotions of winning the MLS Cup title with Seattle Sounders FC.

Remick did not have time to enjoy it. Before he knew it was time to pack up and leave.

Two days after Seattle won it all the club announced it would not exercise the 2017 option on Remick's contract. Four days after that the Dynamo selected Remick with the first pick in stage 1 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft.

It was an anxious few days for the 25-year old left back as he wondered what would be the next step in his career.

"Any time it goes to something like that where you don't really know what is going to happen you always hope your name is going to get picked, but you have to be aware of the possibility that it doesn't happen," Remick said last week as he was introduced to Dynamo fans at BBVA Compass Stadium. "I was fortunate enough for Houston to select me, and I was ecstatic that it happened."

Remick was selected by Seattle in the second round of the 2013 MLS SuperDraft and appeared in 44 regular season games (32 starts) over the last four seasons. In 2016 he started in six of 11 appearances but did not appear in any playoff games.

He has shown good quality when he has been on the pitch, though injuries have held him back the last few seasons.

As the Dynamo roster stands now Remick is one of two players with significant experience playing full back. The club is still negotiating a contract with DaMarcus Beasley. If he comes back to Houston he likely would be the starting left back, leaving Remick to back him up.

Remick said no matter what role he plays in Houston he is excited for another opportunity to contribute and hopefully win a trophy with a second team.

"It was a great experience winning MLS Cup," Remick said. "It is going to be a great experience with Houston. I am excited for the ability to prove myself and to show what I can do here."
