D.C. United trades Ulises Segura to Austin FC

Just hours into the official beginning of the MLS offseason, D.C. United has traded versatile winger Ulises Segura to expansion club Austin FC. In exchange, United has acquired $150,000 in General Allocation Money for the 27-year-old Costa Rican international.

Segura’s three-season United career ends with the former Deportivo Saprissa man having made 66 total regular season appearances, in which he scored 5 goals and added 3 assists. Steven Goff of the Washington Post first reported the trade on Friday, with today’s announcement during the half-day MLS trading window finalizing the details.

Known for being able to play multiple roles, Segura was initially given a shot as a box-to-box midfielder, but after just five games Ben Olsen moved him to his natural position on the wing.
