Galaxy sign defender Jorgen Skjelvik from Rosenborg
The LA Galaxy have landed 26-year-old Norwegian defender Jorgen Skjelvik as the club looks to retool the roster after a rough 2017 season.
Skjelvik comes to the Galaxy on a free transfer from Rosenborg, where he won two league titles and a Norwegian Cup.
“Jorgen has been a key player on multiple title-winning teams and has his best years of soccer in front of him,” Galaxy coach Sigi Schmid said in a club release. “He has experience playing at a very high level for club and country and he can immediately strengthen our backline. We are excited to welcome him to Los Angeles and look forward to Jorgen representing the LA Galaxy.”
