Encyclopedia : Z : ZA : ZAC : Zach Wells
Zach Wells (born February 26, 1981 in Costa Mesa, California) is an American soccer goalkeeper, who currently plays for Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer.
Wells played college soccer at UCLA from 1999 to 2003, where he helped the school to an NCAA Championship as a junior, and was named first-team All-Pac 10 as a senior.
Upon graduating, Wells was selected 21st overall in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft by the MetroStars. He spent much of the season backing up national teamer Jonny Walker, but played two games in mid-season. In 2005, with Walker recovering from surgery, Wells took over the starting role, and played well, leading to Walker's trade to Columbus. But the return of Tony Meola to the club left Wells being a backup again. He was traded to Houston for a 4th round pick in the 2006 MLS SuperDraft.
Wells got his first cap for the U.S. national team on February 19, 2006, against Guatemala.
