American right back Shaq Moore was acquired by Nashville of Major League Soccer on Tuesday and agreed to a contract through the 2025 season.
Nashville acquired the 25-year-old's MLS rights from Montreal for $50,000 in general allocation money. The deal includes an option for 2026.
Moore spent the last three seasons with Tenerife in Spain's second division. A native of Powder Springs, Georgia, he went to the IMG Academy and signed with Spain's Huracán, then a second-division team, ahead of the 2015-16 season.
