Former Leicester City fullback Christian Fuchs has signed for Charlotte FC.

The 35-year-old Premier League winner is the fifth player to sign for the MLS expansion club as they prepare for their first campaign in 2022.

The North Carolina-based team have signed Fuchs on a one year contract, with the option of a second year.

The Austrian was only involved in nine games for Leicester City this past season.

"I'm impressed with Charlotte FC's vision for building a successful team," Fuchs said.

"This is an extraordinary opportunity to build upon the pillars of progressive, collective and ambitious that are already ingrained in the Queen City.

"Alongside a diverse staff who make up this club, we can lean on the soccer community from all over the world to create even more of a competitive and hardworking CLTFC family. I look forward to starting from day one to help make Charlotte FC a winning club."
