FRISCO, Texas (Sept. 2, 2026) – FC Dallas has acquired winger Daniel Job via transfer from Kongsvinger IL of the OBOS-ligaen, the second division of Norway. He has signed a U22 Initiative contract through the 2029-30 Major League Soccer season with a club option for the 2030-31 season. Job will occupy an international roster slot, pending receipt of his P-1 visa and International Transfer Certificate. As part of the transaction, FC Dallas acquired Job’s Discovery Priority from Red Bull New York in exchange for $125,000 in 2027 General Allocation Money (GAM).
“Daniel is a promising young winger who has excelled in Norway and generated a lot of interest from clubs across Europe,” said FC Dallas Chief Soccer Officer Andre Zanotta. “We believe he has a lot of upside and the qualities to continue developing at FC Dallas, and we’re excited to have him here. His speed and ability to attack defenders will give us another dynamic option in the final third and add another element to our attack.”
The Nigerian winger joins Dallas after half a season with Kongsvinger, where he made 20 appearances, scored eight goals and recorded nine assists. He made his club debut on April 7, 2026. Most recently, Job scored in the first round of the Norwegian Football Cup against Skreia IL.
