FC Cincinnati have signed Siem de Jong on a free transfer from Ajax.

"We believe Siem will play an important role in adding to the final third and efficiency of our attack," said Cincinnati general manager Gerard Nijkamp.

"Not only does he have an impressive intelligence and skill set, he has also played in some of the most prestigious competitions and has been a leader on and off the pitch throughout his career. We feel he will be a great addition to our club."

The 31-year-old de Jong has previously played for Newcastle and PSV, while also representing Holland at the international level.
