The LA Galaxy have acquired Ashley Cole.

“Ashley is one of the world’s most successful defenders and has played at the highest level of competition throughout his career,” said Bruce Arena. “He can provide our defense with valuable experience. We look forward to his contribution to our club this season.”

Cole spent most of his career with Arsenal and Chelsea.

After over 10 years in England, Cole moved to Italy when he signed with A.S. Roma in Serie A, Italy’s top-flight professional division, where he spent two seasons.
