After his very good preseason with the Black-and-Red and the team's recent development of an extra international roster spot, we've been expecting United to sign the Canadian winger. According to his agent's Twitter account, that has now happened.
New players have stopped coming into D.C., and most of the trialists have been sent packing. Find out who's still around and why D.C. United have room for one more foreign player than we thought they would.
With the signing of the now-former trialist, the Black-and-Red roster is all but complete.

Is he a marginal upgrade? Maybe. But the acquisition of Carlos Ruiz is the next step down a dangerous road for D.C. United - a road their fans don't want to see them travel.
Carlos Ruiz has a deserved reputation. And it's not a good one, to say the least. But I'm willing to look past it and welcome him to the Black-and-Red. Here's why.
In a move that has shocked most, D.C. United has used the 17th spot in the allocation order to sign former MLS MVP Carlos Ruiz.
Acquiring James Riley wasn't just about depth or adding talent on the cheap for D.C. United. The battle for playing time (and the sharpness that results) is becoming a crucial part of the culture at RFK Stadium.
D.C. United again take advantage of the exodus of players from Chivas USA, picking up right back James Riley in a trade.
In a completely unsurprising development following the acquisition of Casey Townsend, D.C. United has let striker Long Tan go.
In a move that was a surprise even to United GM Dave Kasper, the Black-and-Red traded a second round pick in next year's MLS SuperDraft for the Maryland product, who was drafted 5th overall by Chivas USA last year. Thanks, Chelis!
The Black-and-Red have signed their first player to share a homeland with team owner Erick Thohir. The attacking midfielder has played for teams on no fewer than three continents and will come to D.C. on loan. More info inside.
