The deal which wasn't disclosed was inked on Tuesday and will see the hardworking grafter start a new lease of life in the US Major Soccer League.
He will be added to the Dynamo roster as a discovery immediately.
The central midfielder represented Nigeria at the Under-17, U-20 and U-23 levels and was a 2014 Nigeria Premier League Best XI selection.
A native of Ibadan, Olabiyi was a two-time MVP (2006, 2007) of the Lagos-based Pepsi Football Academy, which featured Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel and Monaco defender Elderson Echiejile in its youth ranks.
“We’re pleased to welcome Rasheed to the Houston Dynamo,” Dynamo vice president/general manager Matt Jordan said in a statement. “He’s been training with us and has integrated well within our group. We look forward to seeing him continue to grow in our environment and contribute to the success of the team as we begin the second half of our season.”
The Nigerian is eligible for selection Friday as the Dynamo visit the San Jose Earthquakes.
