ANNAPOLIS, Maryland - U.S. international defender Omar Gonzalez said the time was right for him to return to MLS, this time with Toronto FC.
Gonzalez's transfer to TFC from Liga MX side Club Atlas was announced on Monday, bringing his three-and-a-half-year spell in Mexico -- first with Pachuca, and later with Atlas -- to an end. According to reports, Toronto paid a small fee to Atlas, and then utilized the top spot in the MLS allocation order to obtain Gonzalez's rights.
The defender will be eligible to begin play when the summer transfer window opens on July 7.
