He is currently President and CEO of PRO Football Consultants, a firm he founded that represents professional soccer players in the United States, Europe, and Mexico.
Higgins played college soccer at California State University, Fullerton from 1996 to 2000, and four seasons with Orange County Blue Star in the USL Premier Development League, helping them to the PDL national semi-finals in 2004 and 2006.
Higgins signed with the Portland Timbers in the USL First Division in 2005, playing 16 games (934 minutes) in his rookie season.
Higgins did not re-sign with the Timbers in 2006, and instead played one more campaign in the USL Premier Development League with Orange County Blue Star while training with Chivas USA's reserve team, appearing in six MLS Reserve Division games without seeing any first-team action.
In 2013, Higgins represented Robbie Rogers, in what was the first openly gay male athlete contract in North American major sports.
