The L.A. Galaxy announced the signing of free agent midfielder Jeff Larentowicz on Wednesday.

“Jeff is an experienced and proven midfielder in our league,” Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said in a statement. “He gives our team another veteran presence on the field and in the locker room. We are excited to add Jeff to our roster and look forward to his contribution this season.”

Larentowicz, 32, figures to be the replacement for Juninho, who was transfered to Liga MX side Club Tijuana last month. Larentowicz, an 11-year MLS veteran, is part of the league’s first free agency class. The midfielder has previously played for the New England Revolution, Colorado Rapids and Chicago Fire.
