Both teams announced the terms of the deal. Houston will receive $300,000 in 2023 GAM and $200,000 in 2024.
“We’re delighted to have Adam join Austin FC. He’s a player with a proven skill set as a left back in MLS,” Austin director of player personnel Sean Rubio said in a news release. “We wish him a warm welcome to the Club and to the city.”
Lundkvist, 28, spent the past five MLS seasons with the Dynamo, recording 12 assists in 121 matches (111 starts). He had a career-high five assists in 31 appearances (30 starts) last season.
