SNS GroupScotland international Stuart Armstrong has joined the Vancouver Whitecaps following his departure from Southampton.
The 32-year-old has spent the past six seasons at St Mary’s and helped Saints secure an immediate Premier League return last term through the play-offs.
Armstrong left Southampton at the end of his deal in the summer and is now starting a new chapter in Major League Soccer, having signed a two-year designated player contract with Vancouver.
The ex-Celtic midfielder links back up with former Dundee United teammate Ryan Gauld, who is captain of the Canadian side and recently received his second senior Scotland call-up.
Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster said: “We are very excited to welcome Stuart and his family to Vancouver.
“He is a player who has excelled for many years at the highest levels in the United Kingdom, as well as internationally with Scotland.
“He brings experience, tactical awareness, positional flexibility, and a very high work rate. In addition, his passing range and elite chance creation from the midfield position will add another dimension to our team’s overall attack.”
