Carson, CA (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Galaxy announced Wednesday that
it has signed Edson Buddle on a free transfer after the American striker
spent one season in Germany with FC Ingolstadt.
Buddle previously featured for the Galaxy from 2007-2010, notching 42 goals in
87 regular season games over that stretch.
"I am thrilled to be able to return to MLS and a club that has meant so much
to me in my career," Buddle said. "When I left for Germany last winter, I said
that I hoped to be able to one day return to the Galaxy and help lead the club
to an MLS Cup championship. That day is today and I look forward to the
challenges that now lie ahead."
The 30-year-old has also garnered 10 caps for the United States National Team,
scoring three goals. He was named to the 2010 World Cup squad under Bob
Bradley and made substitute appearances against England and Algeria in the
group stage.
Terms of the deal, which is still subject to the receipt of Buddle's
International Transfer Certificate, were not disclosed.
