The Houston Dynamo have announced the signing of 16 year-old midfielder Brooklyn Raines as a Homegrown Player. The Dynamo traded $50,000 in General Allocation Money to Real Salt Lake for Raines’ exclusive Homegrown territory rights.
Raines last played for El Paso Locomotive in the USL Championship. Prior to playing with El Paso, Raines was a member of the Barcelona Academy in Arizona, which he joined in 2018. Raines has regularly been a part of the U.S. Soccer Youth National Team program.
“We want Houston Dynamo FC to be a destination for the top young talent in the country and the signing of Brooklyn Raines is a step in the right direction,” said Dynamo general manager Pat Onstad.
