Dynamo add F Sergio Santos off waivers

The Houston Dynamo acquired forward Sergio Santos off waivers on Tuesday.

Santos will remain under contract through the remainder of the season. The Dynamo will hold a club option on the Brazilian for the 2026 campaign.

He had one goal and two assists in 18 appearances (six starts) with FC Cincinnati this season.

Santos, 30, recorded 27 goals and 13 assists in 154 career MLS appearances (70 starts) with the Philadelphia Union (2019-22) and FC Cincinnati. He was part of the Cincinnati's 2023 Supporters' Shield-winning club.

"Sergio is a proven MLS veteran that brings additional physicality to our attack," said Pat Onstad, Dynamo president of soccer. "He has been a part of multiple winning teams in MLS and understands how to earn results during this critical stretch of the season. We look forward to welcoming Sergio to Houston as we continue our push to qualify for the playoffs for the third straight year."
