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, who signed him to a developmental contract. 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. In 2010, he returned to Bodens BK during the autumn, 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. In 2012, Helm played for the
Orlando City's
under-23 team, starting the first game of the 2012 season on May 4. In 2016, Helm signed with the
South Florida Surf for the
Premier Development League season. ==References==
