Minnesota United have signed free agent Fanendo Adi to a one-year contract with a one-year option.
The 30-year-old Nigeria forward had been a free agent and carries extensive MLS experience, last featuring for the Columbus Crew as a reserve option en route to their MLS Cup 2020 victory.
“Fanendo has been in training with us for a few days and we’ve liked what we’ve seen,” head coach Adrian Heath said.
“Obviously, he’s very experienced within the league, scored goals within the league, has won an MLS Cup.
“Two of my staff members here , Sean McCauley and Cameron Knowles, have worked with Adi for years and know everything there is to know about him.”
“We’ve had this position open and we think he’s a little bit different than everybody else that we’ve got,” Heath added.
“He’s a very impressive size: you look at him, he’s a huge man, but he’s in really good condition. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at his age, he’s 30, so there’s plenty more years in him.
“We think it’s a really good move for both parties. He wants to get his career back going again and we’ve been delighted with what we’ve seen since we’ve had him in training with us.”
