D.C. United added another long-rumored signing on Thursday, adding Jamaica international midfielder Ravel Morrison on a free transfer, with his last club being Derby County, where he played under current D.C. coach Wayne Rooney. First reported by Pablo Maurer, then Thomas Floyd reported the deal had been finalized a few days ago, the deal makes Morrison a TAM player on a contract through 2023, with an option for 2024.
“Wayne worked closely with Ravel during his time as manager of Derby County,” Dave Kasper, D.C. United President of Soccer Operations, said in a team release.
