FC Dallas acquired defender Shaq Moore from Nashville SC in exchange for up to $150,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM), the team announced Friday.

Moore, 28, signed a two-year deal with a club option for 2027.

In addition to $50,000 in 2025 GAM and up to $100,000 in incentive-based GAM, Nashville will receive a sell-on percentage if Moore transfers outside of MLS.

Moore made 82 appearances across the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, CONCACAF Champions Cup, and Leagues Cup since debuting with Nashville SC in July of 2022.

In 66 MLS matches (61 starts), Moore had one goal and 12 assists for Nashville.

Moore is no stranger to FC Dallas, having joined the FC Dallas Academy in 2014 before heading to Europe in 2015.

Prior to playing in Nashville, Moore made 101 appearances across all competitions from 2019 to 2022 for CD Tenerife in LaLiga2. He also played eight seasons with Spanish sides Atletico Levante UD and CF Reus Deportiu.

Moore has notched 19 appearances for the U.S. National team since his debut in 2018, including the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Copa America.
