Austin FC has a new left back.
The club announced on Tuesday afternoon that it has acquired defender Guilherme Biro, from Mirassol Futebol Clube, a club in Brazil’s second division.
Prior to spending the 2023 season with Mirassol, Biro (pronounced “bee-roo,” 23 years old, and a relatively tall drink of water at 6’2”, spent the 2020 to 2022 seasons with Coritiba, getting 23 matches with the club’s first-division side and the remainder with its second-division team.
“Guilherme is coming off some remarkable seasons in the top leagues in Brazil. He adds quality and flexibility to our back line,” said Austin FC Sporting Director Rodolfo Borrell by way of press release.
Biro added, in the same press release, "I’m excited to join Austin FC and to compete in MLS as the next step in my career. I look forward to moving to a new country, meeting the fans, and playing at Q2 Stadium for the first time.”
Let’s do an initial pass to answer the question you’re likely asking: “Who is he?”
