Los Angeles FC acquired veteran defender Nkosi Tafari from FC Dallas, both clubs announced Thursday.

Dallas receives $300,000 in 2026 General Allocation Money and a 2026 international roster slot in exchange for Tafari.

Tafari, 27, registered seven goals and six assists in 107 matches (84 starts) with Dallas from 2021-24.

"Nkosi is a player of great promise, and we are excited to welcome him to LAFC to see him fulfill his potential," LAFC general manager John Thorrington said. "(His) technical ability and physicality will further solidify our strong backline."

Dallas selected the New York City native in the first round (14th overall) of the 2020 MLS SuperDraft.
