Charlotte FC have bolstered their defensive ranks with the arrival of Fulham defender Tim Ream on a free transfer.
Ream, who spent nine years at Craven Cottage, has signed a two-year deal and returns to the United States 13 years after joining Bolton from the New York Red Bulls.
The 36-year-old made 312 appearances for Fulham, more than any other player in the 21st century apart from captain Tom Cairney (325), ranking 25th on the all-time list.
During his time with the Cottagers, Ream won promotion to the Premier League on three occasions, twice via the play-offs, with the other seeing Fulham crowned as champions during the 2021-22 season.
Ream helped Fulham to a 13th place finish last year, keeping three clean sheets in his 18 outings.
