The Houston Dynamo reacquired forward Aliyu Ibrahim from the Columbus Crew on Thursday.
In exchange for the 24-year-old Nigeria native, the Crew received $250,000 in general allocation money and up to $500,000 more in performance-based GAM.
Ibrahim played with Houston from 2023-25, tallying nine goals and five assists in 66 MLS matches (51 starts).
“We are pleased to welcome Aliyu Ibrahim back to Houston, where he played an important role during two successful seasons with our club,” Dynamo president of soccer Pat Onstad said. “As we continue evolving our system this season, we are looking to add depth to our wingback group, and Aliyu has the qualities to thrive in that role.
“His ability to cover ground, attack space and contribute on both sides of the ball fits well with the expectations of our wide players. We look forward to welcoming him and his family back to the city of Houston.”
Ibrahim had three goals and two assists in 23 appearances (12 starts) last season after being traded to the Crew in April. He has not played yet this season.
