Andrew "Drew" Spencer Helm (born November 9, 1984) is a former American soccer player.

Early life and collegiate career

[edit]

Drew Helm was born in Jupiter, Florida. His older brother Ryan is a pro surfer, and both brothers were known as freediving spear-fishermen.[1] He attended Jupiter Community High School.[2]

Helm began his collegiate soccer career at the University of South Florida. He played two years at USF, appearing in 17 matches, notching 3 goals and 7 assists. In 2005, he transferred to Florida Atlantic University, but after only appearing in 4 matches, scoring 2 goals, he was injured for the remainder of the season.

Professional career

[edit]

Despite his injury-plagued year, Helm was invited to the 2006 Adidas MLS Combine, where his performance earned him the first overall selection in the 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft by Chivas USA,[3] who signed him to a developmental contract.[4] He played sparingly during the 2006 season, making 8 appearances and starting just once. Following the season, he left Chivas to join lower-division Portuguese club Marinhas for the remainder of the 2006/07 season. He joined Swedish club Bodens BK in summer 2008 for a contract spanning the last half of the Swedish season. Helm scored the winning goal for BBK in his debut for the club on August 10, 2008.[5]

In 2010, he returned to Bodens BK during the autumn,[6][7] and in the last game of the season he scored the goal that secured the club's status as a Division 1 team for 2011.[8]

In 2012, Helm played for the Orlando City's under-23 team, starting the first game of the 2012 season on May 4.[9]

In 2016, Helm signed with the South Florida Surf for the Premier Development League season.[10]
