Major League Soccer club Austin FC have confirmed the signing of former Oxford United winger Przemyslaw Placheta.
Placheta left the U's this summer at the end of his contract as one of 10 players to depart the club for free.
Rumours circulated over a move to the United States of America, where the 2026 FIFA World Cup is currently being held, back in April.
The Texas-based outfit have now confirmed the signing of the Polish wide man on a three-year deal with an option for an extra year.
The 28-year-old signed the agreement back in March and will be eligible to make his Austin FC debut when the regular MLS season returns on July 22.
Placheta joined Oxford in 2024 after leaving Championship side Swansea City when his contract expired and went on to play 60 times for the U's.
He scored six goals and secured four assists in yellow, including a late winner against now-Premier League side Ipswich Town last season.
The former Norwich City and Birmingham City man spent six seasons in England in total, winning the Championship title and promotion to the Premier League with the Canaries in the 2020/21 campaign.
Upon joining the MLS side, Placheta said: "I’m really excited to begin a new chapter of my career in Austin.
"I can’t wait to make my debut and do everything I can to help the team make a push in the second half of the season.

"I also hope to use everything I learned during my six years in English football to help the team and make a positive impact in MLS."
The seven-time Poland international is the latest released Oxford player to find a new club.
Striker Will Goodwin recently secured a move to League Two side Gillingham whilst academy product Joshua Johnson moved to Maidenhead United.
Stuart Findlay has permanently joined Scottish Premiership side Hearts and young centre back Stephan Negru has made the rare switch to United's rivals Swindon Town in the fourth tier.
After Placheta's departure from OX4 was confirmed, he issued a goodbye statement on his Instagram.
"After two years, the time has come to say goodbye," he wrote.
"I want to thank everyone connected with the club.
"Thank you for welcoming me and my family from the very beginning and making Oxford feel like home.
"There were beautiful moments and difficult ones too, but for all of them I am sincerely grateful.
"To the fans - thank you for your support, passion and belief throughout everything. Wearing this badge was an honour.
"I wish everyone nothing but success in the future and I truly hope Oxford United will be back in the Championship very soon."
