“Bill has worked hard in the past two years to improve every facet of his game and he is deserving of this new deal,” said General Manager Dave Kasper. “We look for big contributions from him in the future and we are pleased to have secured his services for years to come.”
With his performance on May 5th, 2010 against Kansas City, Hamid became the youngest goalkeeper in MLS history to win a league game, at 19 years of age. A record he took from USMNT goalkeeper, Tim Howard.
In 2009, Hamid became the first academy player in D.C. United franchise history to sign with the first team. He went on to play eight games with United in 2010, making 20 saves and posting a shut out. He returns this season after a torn labrum in his right shoulder ended his 2010 campaign.
