With Erick 'Cubo' Torres already in the bag, the Houston Dynamo added another striker to their growing stable on Friday.
The Dynamo signed forward Chandler Hoffman, the club announced, after selecting the former Philadelphia Union and LA Galaxy striker in Stage Two of the MLS Re-Entry draft on Dec. 18. Per club and league policy, terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The 24-year-old scored a team-best 14 goals in 19 appearances last season while on loan to LA Galaxy II of USL PRO. Hoffman also made eight appearances with the Galaxy in 2014.
"We are pleased to add Chandler Hoffman to our roster,” Dynamo vice president/general manager Matt Jordan said in a statement. “He's a promising, young, intelligent soccer player that provides flexibility within our attack. After a strong 2014 USL Pro season, we look forward to seeing him grow within our group."
Hoffman was acquired by the Galaxy in a trade with the Philadelphia Union in March 2013. A native of Birmingham, Alabama, he played three years at UCLA and was named a MAC Hermann Trophy semifinalist after scoring 18 goals in 2011.
