Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy have signed midfielder Rayan Raveloson. The 11-times Madagascar national team player joins the club immediately on a free transfer and has signed a contract through to the end of the 2023 season with a one-year club option.
“Rayan is a talented, young and versatile midfielder who was a key player in leading his team to a title in France this season,” said LA Galaxy general manager Dennis te Kloese in a club statement. “We think he brings a valuable experience and skillset to our midfield and will be a positive addition to our team. We look forward to him joining the club and his contributions to the LA Galaxy.”
