Defender Auston Trusty has joined the club in a permanent transfer from Colorado Rapids but will remain with the MLS side on loan.
The USA under-20 international joined Colorado Rapids from Philadelphia Union in November 2019. He has made 41 appearances, notably helping the Rapids finish top of the Western Conference in the 2021 MLS regular season.
Trusty, 23, will stay with the Colorado Rapids until at least the end of the Premier League season in May. The intention then is to loan him in Europe for the 2022/23 season to further progress his development.
The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
