Galaxy inks Argentine defender Dominguez

---

Carson, CA (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Galaxy have agreed to terms with veteran Argentine defender Eduardo Dominguez. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Dominguez joins the Galaxy after one season with Argentine Primera Division club Huracan, and he will be used in either central defense or as a left back.

Dominguez will be eligible to be added to the Galaxy roster once he receives his P1 visa and International Transfer Clearance (ITC). Once the paperwork is completed, the Galaxy will need to clear a senior roster spot in order to officially add Dominguez to the roster.

"We are excited to add Eduardo to our squad and believe that he will add balance, quality and experience to our defense," Galaxy director of soccer Paul Bravo said. "He has all the attributes necessary to be an outstanding defender in this league."

The 29-year-old Dominguez has spent his entire professional career playing in South America, enjoying stops with Argentine Primera Division clubs Velez Sarsfield, Olimpo, Racing, Independiente and Huracan. He also spent two seasons with Colombian power Medellin.

"I am very happy to be here, not just with the Galaxy, but in Los Angeles and the United States," Dominguez said. "This is a very important step in my career and I hope to help lead the Galaxy to the championship."
