He's a 1986 on the roster at FK Pirmasens. http://www.fk-pirmasens.com/index.php?option=com_joomleague&func=showPlayers&p=2&ttid=22&Itemid=74 Listed as a midfielder. Looks like he played at Brown, graduating this year. http://www.brownbears.com/sports/m-soccer/mtt/howerton_darren00.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FK_Pirmasens I didn't even know what country that club was in. Weird name.
Darrren went to high school at Nobles in Dedham MA. Played along side Mike Videira and Chris Tierney, both of whom now play for the Revs. Not bad...3 pros from the same high school team !
Not to seem like an asshole, but assuming he got an offer from MLS he'd rather play 3rd tier Bundesliga than in the MLS?
that team was absurdly stacked for a HS team. Only saw them twice but Howerton and teammate Matt Mitchell really stood out. also, Nobles' matchups against Charlies Davies' Brooks squad in 03 & 04 must have been up there the best HS soccer games ever played in New England.
I think they play in the Oberliga which is the 5th league 1st Bundesliga 2nd Bund 3rd Bund Regionalliga Oberliga
