Gregory "Greg" Martin Garza Early (born August 16, 1991) is an American soccer player who currently plays as a fullback for Club Tijuana in the Mexican Primera División and for the United States national team.

Club career

Estoril Praia

Garza spent several years with Sporting Clube de Portugal's under-19 team, but he was not offered a contract with the senior squad.[1] As a result, he moved to Estoril Praia on a two-year contract in August 2010.[2]

Club Tijuana

Garza signed with Mexican Primera División side Club Tijuana on December 21, 2011.[3] Garza made his debut coming in as a sub in minute 73 for Jose Sand against Monarcas Morelia in a 1-1 tied game. He scored the first goal of his career for the club on October 13, 2012 in a 2-2 draw at Santos Laguna.[4]

International career

Garza was announced as part of the United States senior squad for a friendly against the Czech Republic on September 3, 2014. His first senior international cap was recorded during the match, being subbed on in the 62nd minute. He was capped-tied to the USA national football team after his first competitive match in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup against Haiti, while starting and playing 67 minutes. But after the group stage he was traded out of the gold cup roster for DaMarcus Beasley as each team could make 6 changes if they advanced to the knockout round.

Personal

Garza was born and raised in Texas but holds a Mexican passport by way of his father who was born in Mexico.[5]
