Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I hangaia a Cruz i te rauna tuatoru (41st katoa) o te MLS SuperDraft 2009 na te Houston Dynamo. I timata ia i tana mahi ngaio i te Poutu-te-rangi 28, 2009, i te wa e uru ana hei whakakapi i te keemu a Houston ki te San Jose Earthquakes. I eke ia i tana whaainga tuatahi mo te Dynamo ki a DC United, i awhina ano ia i taua keemu. I te tau 2011, he waahanga nui a Cruz mo te kapa Houston Dynamo me te whaainga i tetahi whaainga whakamiharo i te mutunga o te waa ki te Portland Timbers hei awhina i a Houston ki te eke ki nga whiringa toa. I tīmata ia i roto i ngā kēmu whiringa toa e whā, tae atu ki te ngaronga 1-0 o Houston ki Los Angeles Galaxy i te tau kotahi mano tekau mā iwa.
Ko te MLS Cup 2011.
