Columbus Crew SC announced Thursday they have signed midfielder Perry Kitchen, which officially brings his time with the LA Galaxy to a close.
Kitchen featured for LA for three seasons, and was a fixture in the lineup in 2020. All told, in his MLS career he’s played 218 regular-season games, split between the Galaxy and D.C. United.
I think you can look at this two ways from a Galaxy perspective. Kitchen had a thankless role in the midfield, as the destroyer on a team with a very shaky defense, and so he usually showed up through his mistakes, not his merits.
