Austin FC signed defender Charlie Asensio to a one-year contract for the 2022 MLS season on Wednesday with options for each of the next three campaigns.

Financial terms were not disclosed by Austin FC, who selected Asensio with the 35th overall pick of the 2022 MLS SuperDraft.

Asensio, 22, recorded nine assists in 82 appearances (79 starts) over four years with Clemson. He also notched an assist in the Tigers’ 2-0 win over Washington in the 2021 NCAA men’s soccer national championship game on Dec. 12.
