VIDEO: Schweinsteiger and Villa throw first pitches Following a six-month loan to childhood club Chivas de Guadalajara, where he initially emerged as a teenage prodigy in 2010, Torres made his Houston debut in July 2015. Since then, though, it’s hardly been smooth sailing.Īfter Chivas USA folded, the Houston Dynamo snapped up Torres with a designated player contract.
The latest iteration of Torres has seen the Houston Dynamo striker take MLS by storm early in the 2017 campaign, much like he did when he scored 15 goals for Chivas USA in 2014 en route to an All-Star appearance and a first senior call-up for Mexico.
