Stuart Holden's career is officially over. The 30-year-old has announced that he will put his comeback attempt behind him and enter his post-playing career.
Holden was one of the United States' top prospects, coming through their U-20 and U-23 teams before making a name for himself at the club level with the Houston Dynamo. A productive stint in MLS earned him a move to Bolton Wanderers, where he became a starter for the club in the Premier League and made the Americans' 2010 World Cup team.
Unfortunately, injuries put a halt to his career after that.
