Atlético Dallas has signed midfielder Anthony Ramirez, the club announced on Tuesday. The former FC Dallas Homegrown is the second signing in club history and the latest piece of the inaugural roster for the club's upcoming 2027 USL Championship debut.
Ramirez fits the local vibe that the new club is looking to target. He joined the FC Dallas Academy at 12 and won a Dallas Cup title and the Bayern Munich Campus Cup along the way. He signed a professional contract with North Texas SC in 2024 and was part of the group that won the 2024 MLS NEXT Pro Championship. He was also on the North Texas squad that won the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro Invitational.
His FC Dallas debut came on July 20, 2024, against the New England Revolution. He signed a HGP deal with the club that following January.
Atlético Dallas Sporting Director Brian Corcoran said the club likes Ramirez’s “ability, competitiveness and approach to the game,” and sees “a great opportunity for him to continue to develop.” Team Manager Peter Luccin, who coached Ramirez in the academy from about the U-13 level, called him “a real Dallas product.”
Ramirez has 14 youth international appearances across the United States and Mexico, with one goal, and attended a Mexico U-20 camp for the Torneo del Sol. He joins Javier “Chicharito” Hernández as the second player on the roster with ties to Mexican soccer.

Quick BDS Take
Two signings in, Atlético Dallas has a household name and a homegrown kid who came up in the same academy FC Dallas runs. That’s a clear local-identity play. I wouldn't be shocked of Luccin looks to snag another former HGP from FC Dallas before it is all said an done going into 2027.
