Ahead of the season start, here are some new faces you can expect to see on the pitch.

  • Stefan Cleveland | The 29-year-old goalkeeper previously played for Seattle Sounders FC, where he racked up 61 saves across 24 matches.
  • Jáder Obrian | The Colombian-born, 28-year-old winger played his last three seasons with FC Dallas.
  • Micah Burton | Burton joins the team after playing for Austin FC II last season. The 17-year-old is the first player in history to represent Austin FC in the Austin FC Academy, MLS NEXT Pro league, and now the MLS.
