FC Dallas has signed 16-year-old midfielder Paxton Pomykal, the club's league record 15th homegrown signing. Pomykal, of Lewisville, Texas, played on the FC Dallas team that won the 2016 U.S. Soccer Development Academy U-17/18 national championship.
Pomykal also scored two goals for the U.S. U-18 national team that last month won the Vaclav Jezek Tournament, including the USA's equalizer in a 4-2 comeback win over host Czech Republic in the final.

Pomykal's decision to stay with FC Dallas comes in the wake of the club losing 18-year-old striker Weston McKennie to Bundesliga club Schalke 04.
"The dream was to play pro soccer initially, wherever it may be," Pomykal told the Dallas Morning News. "But over the past few years I've kind of known it was going to be here and that I wanted it to be here. Dreams evolve. For this to come true is unbelievable.
"I'm from here. This is the pro team here and I've always come to games and supported them. It's unbelievable to be here and have young kids dreaming to be pros watching me now. Hopefully I stay here a while and have a nice career. "
