Toronto FC has added another centre-back to its ranks ahead of the 2023 Major League Soccer season. After much speculation, Norwegian defender Sigurd Rosted is officially a Red.
Toronto has acquired the 28-year-old from Brøndby IF using Targeted Allocation Money, signing Rosted to a three-year deal with an option for a fourth.
TFC has allowed 66 goals in back-to-back MLS seasons, so the defence and goalkeeping departments have quickly been addressed by the club’s management during the offseason. Rosted joins MLS veterans Sean Johnson and Matt Hedges, as well as Italian left-back Raoul Petretta as the club’s notable additions in the defensive third.
