FC Dallas acquired United States national team defender Shaq Moore in a trade with Nashville SC and signed him to a two-year deal with a club option for 2027.

Nashville Soccer Club traded defender Shaq Moore to FC Dallas Friday in exchange for up to $150,000 in General Allocation Money if Moore meets certain performance metrics, including $50,000 in 2025 GAM and $100,000 in conditional GAM.

Moore joined the FC Dallas Academy in 2014 before departing for Europe in 2015. He made his MLS debut with Nashville in 2022.

Brugman is Nashville’s second official midfield acquisition, as the team earlier this offseason added Norwegian native Edvard Tagseth. The 23-year-old Tagseth totaled nine goals and 19 assists in 138 appearances for Rosenborg BK in Norway’s top soccer league.
