The Portland Timbers secured the signing of former Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor on Monday.
Taylor had been a free agent after ending his 21-year association with Newcastle earlier this summer when his contract expired.
The 30-year-old had been linked with a move to Turkish side Fenerbahce, but he will instead move to MLS with the Timbers.
Taylor held talks and underwent a medical with the reigning MLS Cup champions last week before the team announced the deal on Monday.
