Auston Trusty has joined Sheffield United on a permanent deal.
The 24-year-old defender joined us from MLS side Colorado Rapids in January 2022, and spent the remainder of that season on-loan back with the Rapids.
The 2022/23 season saw Auston join Birmingham City, where he made 48 appearances in all competitions for the Championship side, including scoring four goals and assisting twice.
His solid performances last campaign earned him a first USA international cap, when he made his debut in a 7-1 win against Grenada in March 2023, and the season also ended on a high for Auston, as he was named Birmingham City’s Player of the Season.
Sporting Director Edu said; “We are so proud to see how far Auston has come and the journey he has been on. If you look at him when he joined us compared to now when he is leaving us, he has achieved so much.
"We see him now, a USA international having won Player of the Season with Birmingham City in a competitive league, which you have to remember was his first in English football. He now moves to a Premier League club where he will play top-flight football.
"Everyone involved in Auston’s progression to this point should have great satisfaction in the steps he has taken, moving on to this new challenge.”
We thank Auston and wish him the best of luck for his future and new chapter.
The deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.
