Toronto FC acquires veteran Jamaican international defender Kemar Lawrence

Toronto FC added some experience to its backline Friday, acquiring Jamaican international defender Kemar Lawrence from Belgium’s Anderlecht.

The 28-year-old played under Toronto FC GM Ali Curtis and coach Chris Armas during their time with the New York Red Bulls. Lawrence signed with Toronto through 2024.

“He’s a fearless competitor, he has experience, and he immediately makes our team better,“ Curtis said in a statement. ”Kemar is a lockdown wingback, and we are excited to get him going. Looking forward to he and his family planting roots in Orlando, and then Toronto. Very excited for Kemar to join is an understatement.
