Lauren Ciman is back in Major League Soccer, having signed with Toronto FC, the MLS side announced Thursday.
The 33-year-old Ciman had been playing for FC Dijon in Ligue 1, but will now make the move back to North America.
Having been signed for a transfer fee when he departed MLS this past summer, the center back was subject to the league's allocation order, where expansion club FC Cincinnati originally had the top slot and would have been had first right to sign him.
