What happened: The midfielder arrives for the remainder of the 2026 season, with Dallas holding an option to buy. Holstad expects an intense working environment under coach Eric Quill.
Why it matters: The move gives Quill another midfield option for the second half of the regular season. Holstad also becomes the first player in Rhode Island FC history to move to MLS.
By the numbers: FC Dallas is 7-5-5 with 26 points through 17 matches, sixth in the Western Conference.
What to watch: Dallas visits the LA Galaxy on Aug. 1, when Holstad could enter the matchday squad.
