Nick Markanich

Markanich joined the Dynamo in January 2026 after making 110 first team appearances in all competitions across his career in Spain and the United States, featuring for Segunda División side CD Castellón (2025-26), USL Championship side Charleston Battery (2023-24) and FC Cincinnati (2022). The 26-year-old recorded 45 goals and 10 assists with the three teams, including a breakout 2024 season with Charleston in which he scored a league-record 28 regular season goals and was crowned the 2024 Championship Player of the Year, named All-League First Team and won the Golden Boot. That campaign established him as one of the top goalscorers in America across all domestic leagues before his move to Spain in January 2025.

At CD Castellón, he recorded two goals in 24 matches, including a late equalizer versus Albacete Balompie on April 4. He also started and play the full 90 minutes of the team’s first 2025-26 Copa del Rey match against Club Atlético Antoniano.

Latest transaction: On loan from Club Deportivo Castellón in Spain through the 2026 season.

Dynamo Debut: Feb. 21, 2026, versus Chicago Fire FC.
