The Houston Dynamo have signed defender Adolfo Machado, the club announced today. Machado joins the club on a full transfer from Costa Rican club Deportivo Saprissa pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
Machado is the second international signing by the Dynamo in as many days, following the announcement of Honduran forward Alberth Elis on Tuesday. The 31-year-old Panamanian has represented his country at the international level 67 times, including in the 2016 Copa América, FIFA World Cup Qualifying matches and in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Machado frequently pairs with Seattle Sounders FC defender Román Torres in the heart of the Panamanian back line.
