Tim Howard makes a save at first Rapids practice - 6-27-16

Welcome to Denver, Tim Howard.


Howard, who will be officially introduced by the Colorado Rapids on Tuesday (4 pm ET, watch on Altitude TV and ColoradoRapids.com) trained with his new teammates for the first time on Monday after starting for the USMNT in a 1-0 loss to Colombia in the third-place game of Copa America Centenario on Saturday.

You can check out a photo gallery from the session here, and watch the Rapids exclusive video series chronicling the long-time Everton 'keeper's return to the United States and MLS.


Howard, the former Everton star, signed with MLS and the Rapids in March, and after finishing the English Premier League season, he then joined the US national team for Copa America Centenario, where he served as the backup to Brad Guzan.


Howard is expected to make his Colorado debut on Monday, July 4 against the Portland Timbers (9 pm ET, MLS LIVE). The Rapids, picked by some to finish at the bottom of the Western Conference standings after a tough 2015 season, have the best record in MLS (9-2-5, 32 points).
