Toronto FC: Signing Omar Gonzalez fills crucial defensive hole

Well, the rumour mill can stop spinning. Center-back Omar Gonzalez has put pen to paper with Toronto FC.

The 30-year-old defender, who transferred from Pachuca and was signed by TFC with Targeted Allocation Money on June 3, is an MLS legend of sorts, having accrued 180 appearances over seven years with LA Galaxy. He has also been a picture of durability, having logged over 2000 minutes in five of his MLS campaigns. A former Defender of the Year, Rookie of the Year and a three-time MLS Cup champion, it is safe to say one of the premier players MLS has ever seen is coming back home.
