The Los Angeles Galaxy's defense just got a little deeper.

Los Angeles picked up former U.S. U-20 national team defender Kyle Davies, who was placed on waivers by FC Dallas on May 5. The 22-year-old Davies will provide cover at centerback for Omar Gonzalez and A.J. DeLaGarza, and helps a defense that recently lost Leonardo to a season-ending injury.

Davies is no stranger to injuries, however. He missed a chunk of the 2010 season for FC Dallas with a fractured arm, and was sidelined for much of the beginning of this year.

Here are some other stories from around MLS:

  1. Seth has potential, he has good positioning but seemed to get burned by faster players sometimes. I wish him the best

  2. Seth Sinovic to Sporting could be a good fit. He is a native of KC…I played with him in high school. Back then, however, he was the shortest player on the team and played CM.

  3. Great pickup for LA. Davies played well when healthy. He likely could have supplanted Ugo Ihemelu as George Johns partner on FCD’s backline..if he stayed healthy.
