Lalas Abubakar gets another Major League Soccer spell having completed a move to FC Dallas on a two-year deal.
The 29-year-old is joining on a free transfer after ending his five-year stay with Colorado Rapids where he made over 20 appearances in the just-finished MLS campaign.
In 2024, Abubakar led the Rapids to the MLS Cup playoffs and to a historic third-place finish in the 2024 Leagues Cup, the highest finish in Rapids history.
He spent the last five seasons with Colorado, making 153 appearances, scoring nine goals, and recording three assists. Abubakar was named the Rapids' Defensive Player of the Year in 2019 and 2020.
The former Black Satellites star also spent two seasons with the Columbus Crew, recording 35 appearances and scoring two goals.
He was selected by Columbus in the first round (fifth overall) of the 2017 MLS SuperDraft.
FC Dallas are currently on a break and will resume early next year to begin preseason ahead of the 2025 MLS campaign and will face Houston Dynamo in their season opener on Saturday, February 22, 2025.
