The Dynamo have added to their depth on defense by signing center back Philippe Senderos – a veteran of three World Cups with Switzerland.

Senderos, 32, was on trial with the Dynamo for the week of July 23 and attended the team's home game on July 29 against the Portland Timbers. He trained on the field before the game along with two other players who were not playing that night.

Senderos will occupy the Dynamo's eighth and final international roster spot, which was freed up when Erick Torres got his green card finalized on Sunday.

"Philippe Senderos will be a welcomed addition to our team," Dynamo general manager Matt Jordan said in a statement.
