It is now official! FC Dallas has signed forward Carlos Ruiz through the end of this year, pending receipt of his ITC, the club announced today.
Ruiz was a free agent, thus allowing FCD to sign him after the transfer window that closed in MLS last month. MLS rosters also freeze today until after MLS Cup, so that also is part of why this signing is being done today.
A 10-year MLS veteran, Ruiz has made 182 league appearances, scoring a total of 88 goals, in addition to 17 assists.
The 37-year old returns to Dallas, where he spent the 2005-2007 seasons with the club.
