NYCFC has gotten rather busy over the last few weeks and the trend continued this week as the club announced the signing of French defender Frédéric Brillant. The 30 year old center back came over as a free transer from Belgian club KV Oostende. The club reports that Targeted Allocation Money was used in the purchase of the player, but as per MLS policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Brillant is a 6'2" center back who has played the last three seasons in the Belgian first division, making 79 club appearances. He currently stands as the tallest defender on the NYCFC roster.
