The Dynamo are giving Honduran midfielder Jose Escalante a second opportunity to make the team full time.
Houston on Friday will announce it is bringing back Escalante on a 12-month loan with a club option to buy. The Dynamo acquired Escalante on a separate loan from Honduran club Olimpia last March and sent him to Rio Grande Valley FC, their USL affiliate.
Escalante, who plays in the wide midfield, had three goals and two assists in 14 appearances with the Toros before the Dynamo signed him to an MLS contract on Aug. 3.
He had to wait nearly two months before he got his first playing time in a league game, subbing on for nine minutes against New York City FC on Sept.
