has acquired Jack McInerney, a 24-year-old forward who cleared waivers after scoring 43 goals for four MLS teams over the last seven seasons. He will join the Galaxy this week and the club says he will be available for selection for Sunday’s StubHub Center matinee with the defending league champion Seattle Sounders.
“Jack is a young and experienced player in MLS who has shown that he can score goals in this league,” Galaxy General Manager Pete Vagenas said in a statement. “He will give our team valuable depth at the forward position.”
McInerney was selected out of high school by the Philadelphia Union with the seventh overall pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft, and remained with the club until 2014, scoring 25 goals, including a career-high 12 in 2013.
