The Vancouver Whitecaps added to their defensive ranks with the additions of David Edgar and Marcel de Jong on Monday.
Both defenders are Canada internationals and signed 18-month deals as free agents.
Edgar, 29, will play his club football in North America for the first time after a career in England in which he played for Newcastle, Burnley, Swansea City, Birmingham City, Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United.
"I'm delighted to sign for Whitecaps FC and especially to be back in Canada," Edgar said. "After all my years in England, it has always been in my plans to come and be a part of MLS.
