Dynamo sign Joe Holland, three others to first team contracts

One recent draft pick and the return of a Homegrown Player highlight four signings made by the Dynamo this week.

The Dynamo this afternoon will announce that Joe Holland, Memo Rodriguez, Taylor Hunter and George Malki have signed MLS contracts. They are expected to join the first team on a full-time basis in 2017.

Holland, 23, was a first-round pick in this year's MLS SuperDraft and has impressed during the preseason, especially in two games against MLS competition at the Desert Diamond Cup.

Rodriguez's first-team contract is his second with the Dynamo. The club signed him to a Homegrown Contract in December 2014 and immediately loaned him to USL club Charleston Battery.
