Howard on Monday was spotted by photographer John Babiak as the goalkeeper left the Rapids’ practice field at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. He was kitted out in Rapids gear, and a team spokesman said Howard participated in his first goalkeeper training with his new club.
The U.S. goalkeeper started Saturday for the Americans in a 1-0 loss to Colombia at the Copa America Centenario tournament.
Howard is set to be introduced to the media at a news conference Tuesday. He will be available to play in the Rapids’ next MLS match, on July 4 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park against the Portland Timbers.
Colorado (9-2-5) sits in first place in all of MLS with 32 points in 16 games. The Rapids are 7-0-1 at home in league play this year.
