Goalkeeper Sean Johnson officially joined Toronto FC earlier this morning, confirming a rumor that first surfaced more than three weeks ago. The former New York City FC captain leaves after six years at New York City, where he helped transform a shaky backline and a generally uneven squad into a team that not only won the MLS Cup in 2021, but that have put together one of the best cumulative records in the league and now count among the most elite teams in MLS.
Likewise, Johnson has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the league along with Andre Blake (Philadelphia Union), and Matt Turner (formerly of New England Revolution).
