The midfielder affectionately known as the Birdman played in more than 70 matches and scored 14 goals and registered seven assists for the Toros. Bird played a key role on the 2016 RGVFC expansion team that finished second in the Western Conference, primarily occupying as a super-sub. He served as a captain for the Toros in 2017 before he was signed to the Dynamo first team. He said, “I feel really lucky to have been a part of an organization like the Dynamo for four years. I’ll always be grateful for my time there in South Texas.”

Not only did Bird impact the game for RGVFC as a starter and a substitute in that first year, but he also provided quality throughout his time in Texas across the midfield. “I believe my best role is a box-to-box midfielder. I love to go forward and score goals, but I also love getting stuck in and helping my team keep clean sheets,” Bird explained.
