The Vancouver Whitecaps have signed Japan international striker Masato Kudo on a free transfer, the MLS club announced on Tuesday.
Kudo, 25, has scored 92 goals in 260 appearances for Kashiwa Reysol in the J-League and earned four caps with Japan in 2013.
"Masato has a very good goal scoring record and we are always looking at adding to the group," Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson said in a statement.
"He has a natural ability to find space in the box, which generates goal scoring opportunities. He is technically good with both feet and, as always required, he is a hard working player.
