Austin FC have signed former New York City FC defender Ben Sweat.

Austin FC have completed a deal to sign Ben Sweat. The MLS new boys have boosted their squad by signing in the full-back, as announced by their official club website. They are gearing up for their first-ever season and will be pleased to have brought someone in with the experience of playing in a similar scenario.

Sweat, who is 29 years old, has spent the past year with Inter Miami so being part of a team in their inaugural campaign is nothing new to him.
