TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Trade

  • NE receive: Brooklyn Raines
  • HOU receive: Up to $2 million

The New England Revolution have acquired midfielder Brooklyn Raines from Houston Dynamo FC, the clubs announced Tuesday.

In exchange for the 20-year-old US youth international, Houston receive $1.6 million guaranteed and an additional $400,000 if certain conditions are met.

Raines has signed a U22 Initiative deal with New England through the 2028-29 season, with a club option for 2029-30.

“Brooklyn Raines is a high-upside player who has already demonstrated his ability to influence games in MLS and with the US youth national teams,” Revolution sporting director Curt Onalfo said. 

“He is a young midfielder who has shown steady growth throughout his early career, resulting in a breakout 2025 season that earned him valuable experience at this year’s Under-20 World Cup. Under our coaching staff’s guidance, I believe Brooklyn will thrive at our club in the years ahead.”

The Houston homegrown product enjoyed a breakout 2025 season, slotting No. 21 on the annual 22 Under 22 Rankings. For his Dynamo career, Raines tallied 1g/2a in 61 appearances (all competitions) from 2022-25.

Raines starred for the US at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup. At that tournament, he played for newly appointed Revs head coach Marko Mitrović.

“I know Brooklyn very well as a person and as a player. He is someone whose qualities fit our style of play, and his mentality is aligned with the culture that we want to build,” Mitrović said.

“While he has very high potential, he has already been an impactful player in MLS. I believe he can help our team win now, and we can support his development even more in the future. I’m really looking forward to having him with us.”

The Revs are looking to return to the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2023. They finished last season 11th in the Eastern Conference (36 points).
