Toronto FC added to its backline Tuesday, signing Norwegian international defender Sigurd Rosted.
The move was expected after Brondby IF, Rosted’s previous club in Denmark, said farewell to the 28-year-old centre back on its official Twitter account last week, saying the defender was travelling to Toronto “to negotiate his personal terms.’’
Toronto, at the time, said nothing has been finalized yet.
The MLS club confirmed the move Tuesday, saying Rosted has signed a three-year deal with an option for 2026 using targeted allocation money.
“Sigurd is an experienced centre-back who has shown his leadership and intelligence while playing at a high level in a strong European league,” Bob Bradley, Toronto’s head coach and sporting director, said in a statement.
