The Houston Dynamo acquired the 10th overall selection in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft presented by adidas, along with $100,000 in General Allocation Money and a 2017 International roster spot from Portland Timbers FC in a draft-day trade for the fourth overall selection in the SuperDraft, the club announced today.
The fourth overall pick was the earliest that Houston has held in its 12-year history. With the trade, the Dynamo’s earliest selection remains No. 7 overall in the 2011 SuperDraft when the club drafted defender Kofi Sarkodie from Akron.
General Allocation Money is money that is available to a club in addition to its salary budget.
