The Vancouver Whitecaps announced the acquisition of Nigerian midfielder Nosa Igiebor for the remainder of the 2017 season, the club announced on its website.
Nosa, 26, joins the Whitecaps as a free agent, having last played for Turkish side Rizespor last season, finishing with two assists in 15 appearances.
“Nosa is a box-to-box midfielder who brings a lot of experience having played in some of the top leagues in the world,” said Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson. “When you have an opportunity to bring in a player with this pedigree, you take it. Nosa adds competition for places in our midfield, which will only help strengthen our group.”
Nosa will occupy an international roster spot, occupying the spot left by Matias Laba, who was placed on the Disabled List.
