Minnesota United FC signed free-agent defender Oniel Fisher through the 2022 MLS season with an option for 2023.

Financial terms of the contract were not announced by the team on Wednesday.

Fisher, 30, made 12 appearances (five starts) last season with the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Jamaican international has one goal and two assists in 78 career appearances (49 starts) with Seattle Sounders FC, D.C. United and the Galaxy.

“We’re pleased to bring Fisher into the fold,” Minnesota United head coach Adrian Heath said in a statement. “He’s got plenty of MLS experience and the fact that he can play both left back and right back will be huge for us during the year, especially on the left side where we’re missing some depth.

“If we want to be successful and have the season we want, we’re going to need all of our players and I think he’s a good pick up for us. He’s athletic, a good guy. As an MLS veteran, he knows what’s coming, knows the competition of the league, the travel and how hot it’s going to be in Houston in the middle of May. We’re pleased we’ve got him and we think he’s going to contribute.”
