Michael Mancienne has joined the New England Revolution on a free transfer from Nottingham Forest.
The former Chelsea defender will team up with former Tottenham and USA goalkeeper Brad Friedel, who is head coach of the MLS side.
After three seasons in the Championship with Forest, playing over 100 games in all competitions, the 30-year-old says he could not resist the move to the United States despite receiving offers to stay in his homeland.
"It was just an exciting opportunity,” Mancienne told his new club's website.
“It was something that I couldn’t turn down. I had obviously other options in England, but to be honest this was something that was amazing.
