The Ryan Nelsen-coached Toronto FC have signed Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe and US international Michael Bradley from AS Roma as the Canadian outfit tries to revive its fortunes after a lowly finish in last season's MLS.
Second from bottom last time in the Eastern Conference, the two signings are a signal of intent from owners Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, with the new season starting in March.
England international Defoe has agreed a four-year deal but will remain at Premier League side Tottenham until February 28th.
Bradley, who has also played for German club Borussia Moenchengladbach and Italian side Chievo, is returning to MLS after Roma confirmed a $12 million fee had been agreed.
