Toronto FC adds experience to backline by signing free agent Shane O’Neill

Toronto FC added some experience to its much-maligned defence Wednesday by signing free-agent defender Shane O’Neill on a deal that runs through 2024.

The 28-year-old spent the last two seasons with the Seattle Sounders, making a combined 56 appearances in all competitions including 27 MLS games this year.

“Shane is an experienced central defender with an excellent team mentality,“ Bob Bradley, Toronto head coach and sporting director, said in a statement. “I have great respect for his competitiveness and work ethic. He has continued to improve throughout his career, and we are excited to bring him to TFC.
