Major League Soccer today announced updates to roster rules for the 2017 MLS season. With a continued strategic focus on cultivating young talent, two off-budget roster spots have been added to every club’s roster to sign additional Homegrown Players. Clubs may also now use up to $200,000 of their existing Targeted Allocation Money to sign Homegrown Players to their first professional contract.
FC Dallas currently sees their roster count at 29 after the signing of rookie defender Walker Hume last week. That additional pair of HGP slots will likely go to Jesus Ferreira and Bryan Reynolds when things are all said and done this year.
