I don't really know why, maybe because of his position (midfielder) but one of the U.S.' best young players, that gets absolutely no hype is Stuart Holden.
Hopefully more American soccer fans will start to respect him and his game, today he signed a two-year extension with Bolton in the English Premier League.
It has been eight months since he made the big leap to England from the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer. So I think it's safe to say he's done an adequate job so far.
The 25-year-old from Texas, who was born in Scotland, had been signed through this season. The club announced Thursday he agreed to a deal through 2012-13.
Holden initially joined Bolton in January on a short-term deal. The Netherlands' Nigel de Jong broke Holden's right leg during a March 3 exhibition against the U.S., restricting Holden to just three appearances last season, but he has started each of Bolton's six Premier League matches this season.
A member of the U.S. World Cup team, Holden says the injury "made me more determined to make an impact when I came back for preseason."
