Defender Chris Mavinga joins Los Angeles Galaxy after six seasons with Toronto FC

Jan 5, 2023 | 9:25 AM

Veteran centre back Chris Mavinga, who spent the last six seasons with Toronto FC, has signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Mavinga has signed a two-year contract through the end of the 2024 MLS season.

Toronto announced in mid-November that it had declined the 2023 contract option on the 31-year-old defender, but said at the time that contract talks were continuing.

Mavinga, a French-born Congolese international, ranks eighth in all-time appearances for Toronto with 153.

The move to Los Angeles reunites Mavinga with former TFC coach Greg Vanney.
