Caps: 10 | Shutouts: 2
Ethan Horvath left Colorado for Molde in Norway as a teenager, working his way up as a professional goalkeeper. By the age of 20, he held the starting job and began drawing interest from other clubs. Moving to Club Brugge in Belgium during the January 2017 transfer window, Horvath showed he could compete for a starting spot.
At the same time he was breaking into the USMNT roster, Horvath was showing he could raise his game at Champions League level. A rarity for USMNT goalkeepers, Horvath is a product of European soccer. Though he was part of the USMNT youth setup, he has no connection to an MLS academy.
Horvath joined Nottingham Forest for the 2021-22 Championship season. He went on loan to Luton Town in 2022-23. Horvath joined Cardiff City on February 1, 2024. He went on loan to Sheffield Wednesday on August 22, 2025 for the first half of the season, joining the NY Red Bulls on January 29, 2026.
