Sporting Kansas City announced on Wednesday the signing of the team’s fourth central defender, Nicolas Isimat-Mirin who was recently released from his contract with Turkish club Besiktas to join SKC on a free transfer. He had previously been under contract through the summer of 2022 before mutually agreeing to part ways to pave the way for the move to Kansas City.
The contract is a guaranteed two-year deal through 2022 with a team held option for 2023.
Isimat-Mirin joins with quite the pedigree in Europe. The 29-year-old has over 250 professional appearances, including 93 appearances in the Dutch Eredivisie as well as another 93 with clubs in France’s top flight, Ligue 1.
