At noon today FC Dallas announced that they had signed Aztex forward Jamie Watson. Jamie had asked Aztex management permission to speak with FC Dallas after he completed a highly successful U23 season with the Austin club. During the past season, Watson played 13 games, scoring 7 goals and 3 assists.

Aztex President, Phil Rawlins, said “We are absolutely delighted for Jamie. He has a chance to play for his hometown team in the MLS, that’s great. Jamie proved to be a leader both on and off the field for us and I know he really enjoyed his time in Austin. This proves how helpful the USL PDL League can be for players like Jamie who are looking to refresh or further their playing careers. The Aztex Coaching staff wish Jamie the very best of luck with FC Dallas.”
