The Houston Dynamo haven’t exactly been big players in the Designated Player market. While Thursday’s signing of Honduran international Oscar Boniek Garcia won’t make a huge impact on the ticket sales, it is a sign that they are willing to spend some money.
Houston Dynamo Make Oscar Boniek García Second-Ever Designated Player
The Houston Dynamo acquire Honduran international Oscar Boniek Garcia on a full transfer.
The right-sided midfielder is not a glamorous signing, but the Dynamo apparently paid for a full transfer. Still, he’ll only hit the salary budget at $175,000 as he’ll be a midseason signing and not be eligible to play until after June 27.
“Oscar is a good player and I have always liked him,” Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said in a statement. “He is a versatile midfielder and a good athlete and should do well for us. He is a good signing for us and the league.”
Garcia is more of a playmaker than a scorer, but should help provide some balance to the Dynamo attack. The Dynamo are currently very left-side oriented, with much of the offense running through Brad Davis. The right side has been a bit of a revolving door at midfield, with three players receiving at least three starts.
