NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Tyler Boyd will play for Nashville SC next year.
The Major League Soccer club announced on Saturday the signing of Boyd through the 2026 season with an option for 2027.
The team acquired the forward from the LA Galaxy in exchange for two international roster spots (one in 2024, one in 2025) and $150,000 in General Allocation Money split evenly between the 2024 and 2025 MLS seasons.
The Galaxy can receive up to $625,000 in conditional GAM, if Boyd meets certain performance metrics.
