Defender Emrah Klimenta of Sacramento Republic FC is moving on from the team and onto LA Galaxy.
Klimenta, 26, leaves the club as their all-time leader in minutes, starts and appearances.
According to LA Galaxy’s website, head coach Sigi Schmid says:
“Emrah has shown very well for himself in Sacramento and he’s deserving of this opportunity in MLS. He will be a valuable and versatile defender in our backline. We are very excited to welcome Emrah into our club.”
