The Houston Dynamo traded a 2022 third-round pick to the Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday in exchange for veteran defender Daniel Steres.
Steres, 31, appeared in 140 matches (127 starts) with the Galaxy since his 2016 MLS debut, contributing eight goals and four assists.
“We are thrilled to welcome Daniel and his family to our club,” Dynamo general manager Pat Onstad said in a statement. “Daniel brings valuable MLS experience to our group and models the competitive and selfless character traits that we want in every player that we bring to Houston.”
Steres was originally drafted by Chivas USA out of San Diego State in 2012.
“Daniel was one of the first signings from LA Galaxy II to the first team and had a successful career with the Galaxy, showcasing the talent within our organization,” LA Galaxy president Chris Klein said in a statement. “We’d like to thank Daniel for his commitment and contributions to our club and wish him the best in the next step of his career.”
The third-round pick obtained by the Galaxy will be the 60th overall selection in the Jan. 11 draft.
