New York City FC has signed the 30-year-old from Belgian side K.V. Oostende to reinforce a back line that struggled in 2015.
A season after tying for the worst defense in MLS, New York City FC has taken another step toward strengthening that lackluster unit.
NYCFC announced the signing of Frederic Brillant on Thursday, using target allocation money to acquire the French center back from Belgian side K.V. Oostende. Per MLS policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Brillant, who has spent his entire 11-year professional career in Belgium, made 79 appearances for Oostende over the past three seasons.
