VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps have acquired right back Sheanon Williams from the Houston Dynamo for general allocation money, the club announced Tuesday.
The deal for the 26-year-old hinges on the receipt of his international transfer certificate and Canadian work permit.
Williams will likely be looked upon to fill a hole on the right side of a leaky Vancouver defence that gave up 52 goals in 2016 compared to just 36 the previous year.
The Whitecaps traded Steven Beitashour to Toronto FC prior to last season, hoping that newcomers Jordan Smith or Fraser Aird would step up as replacements.
