Myers attended Thousand Oaks High School, and played college soccer at UCLA from 2006 to 2007. Over two years he started in 26 of his 42 appearances and managed 4 goals and 4 assists. During his college years he also played in the USL Premier Development League with Ventura County Fusion.
Leaving school early, Myers was drafted with the first overall pick of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft by Kansas City Wizards and signed for $130,000.[2][3] He made his MLS debut on April 9, 2008, against the New England Revolution, but struggled to maintain a consistent place in the starting lineup due to a series of injuries and a new diagnosis of asthma.
It was announced on November 18, 2010, that Myers would graduate from the MLS Generation Adidas program at the end of the 2010 season.[4] He scored his first two professional goals on May 25, 2011, in a 5–0 win over New England Revolution in the 2011 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.[5]
After his release from Kansas City at the end of 2016 season, Myers signed with Portland Timbers as a free agent on January 23, 2017.[6]
Myers was waived by the Timbers on February 28, 2018.[7]
In 2019, Myers joined Nashville SC as the team's chief scout.[8]
