Chicago Fire have completed the signing of Wigan Athletic midfielder Shaun Maloney.
Maloney, who was 32 on Saturday, has signed for the MLS side and will be officially presented as team's third Designated Player - alongside David Accam and Kennedy Igboananike - on Monday.
"I'm very happy to be joining the Fire," said Maloney. "I owe a lot to the manager Frank Yallop and the owner Andrew Hauptman for getting this done.
"I certainly didn't expect it to get done this quickly, so I appreciate the faith that they've shown in me. It's a brilliant league and I'm really hopeful that I'm going to enjoy Chicago and be a big part of what the club is building.
"I'd also like to show respect for my previous club and thank the owner and manager over at Wigan for letting this happen."
