ATLANTA — Seven years ago, when Giles Barnes was a 19-year-old playing for England’s Under-19 national team and in the Premier League for Derby County, he never would have predicted that in 2015 he’d be starring for MLS’s Houston Dynamo and the Jamaican national team.
“I would have said, ‘Really?’” Barnes explained with a smile on Tuesday.
But life has a way of taking some unexpected turns. Careers ebb and flow. And if you’re Barnes, who had three major injuries in England—right knee microfracture surgery and not one but two Achilles ruptures—you consider quitting the sport before deciding to try your luck in a different part of the world entirely.
