In an attempt to bolster its league-worst defense, Minnesota United FC has signed New Zealand international defender Michael Boxall.

Boxall will be added to Minnesota's roster pending receipt of his ITC and P-1 visa.

"We are really pleased to have added a player of his quality. He is a versatile player, can play right-back, can play center-back," said MNUFC manager Adrian Heath.

"He's got experience on the international stage with New Zealand and he's gotten better as his career has progressed. We think he is a player who is going to push everybody for a starting role on this team moving forward, we know he is chomping at the bit to get going.
