Irish striker Kevin Doyle will link up with the Colorado Rapids earlier than expected.
Wolverhampton Wanderers' failure to reach the Championship playoffs means Republic of Ireland international Kevin Doyle will join the Colorado Rapids as a designated player by the end of May.
Doyle was set to move to Colorado once his contract expired in July, but the 31-year-old's switch to the Rapids will happen earlier than anticipated after agreeing to an early release from Wolves, who finished outside the playoff places on goal difference.
"We always thought this might be a possibility if Wolves did not achieve their target of promotion," said Rapids technical director Paul Bravo on Wednesday.
