Austin FC announced the transfer of defender Leo Vaisanen to Swedish side BK Hacken on Monday.

The 27-year-old Finland international had a goal and an assist in 34 matches (29 starts) with Austin from 2023-24.

"We wish Leo all the best on his return to the Swedish league and we thank him for his service to the Club since he joined in 2023," Austin FC sporting director Rodolfo Borrell said.

Vaisanen's departure leaves Austin with three open senior roster slots, including two international slots.
