The Houston Dynamo acquired defender Pablo Ortiz on loan from Slovakian side DAC 1904 on Thursday.

The 24-year-old Colombian center back is signed through the 2025 season. The deal includes a purchase option.

"Pablo is a talented left-footed center back with impressive athleticism who will compete for minutes in our backline," Dynamo president of soccer Pat Onstad said. "He is a high-potential player who will benefit from our developmental environment in Houston."

Ortiz arrives with 99 professional appearances, including stints in Colombia (America de Cali), Denmark (FC Midtjylland) and the Czech Republic (FK Pardubice).
