Toronto FC adds experience to backline, signs veteran Jason Hernandez
Toronto FC added experience to its backline in the form of 12-year veteran Jason Hernandez on Wednesday, the latest piece in what the MLS team hopes will be a championship puzzle.
The 33-year-old centre back, who appeared in 31 games for New York City FC last season, has 285 career MLS regular-season and playoff appearances under his belt.
And he comes with a ready-made connection to Toronto fullbacks Justin Morrow and Steven Beitashour, who both played with him at San Jose.
