Signs for Houston Dynamo McGuire has been acquired by Houston Dynamo FC from Orlando City SC, the club announced. He is signed through 2027 with a club option for 2028.

Impact McGuire was Orlando's sixth overall pick in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft and went on to total 109 appearances, 32 goals, and seven assists across three-plus seasons with them, helping the club reach the postseason in each of those years. His rookie campaign was his best statistically, with 15 goals in 36 appearances that saw him finish runner-up for MLS Young Player of the Year, but his output tapered in the following seasons, including just two goals in 11 appearances this year before the league's World Cup break and a shoulder injury that limited him to 18 appearances last season. He has earned senior U.S. national team and Olympic caps along the way, and Dynamo president of soccer Pat Onstad pointed to his consistent scoring history and room to keep developing as reasons for the move, with Houston looking to add attacking depth as it pushes for a playoff spot
