Flying Eagles striker Ibrahim Aliyu ‘Bravo’ has signed for Major League Soccer (MLS) club Houston Dynamo from Croatian side NK Lokomotiva Zagreb.
Both clubs announced the 21-year-old ‘Bravo’ signed to a three-year contract through 2025 with club options in 2026 and 2027.
He joined the Dynamo as a part of Major League Soccer’s U-22 Initiative and will occupy an international roster spot pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa.
“Ibrahim is a talented young player who provides another dynamic option to our attack,” Dynamo general manager Pat Onstad said.
“He is a Nigerian youth international capable of playing as a wide attacking midfielder or striker, and his analytic profile provided by SRC FTBL stood out when reviewing options to bolster our offense.
“We welcome Ibrahim to our city and look forward to seeing him on the field at Shell Energy Stadium this season.”
Aliyu joined the Dynamo after nearly three years with Lokomotiva in the Croatian first division and he made his debut as an 18-year-old in a draw with NK Istra 1961 on Oct. 2, 2020.
