United released him during the pre-season and he joined the Carolina Dynamo. In 1997, he played for both the Richmond Kickers and the Houston Hurricanes. In 1998, he began the season with the Southwest Florida Manatees before finishing it with the Hurricanes. He then retired and went into his family's restaurant business.[4]
