The 27-year-old former English youth international will join D.C. on July 1 via a free transfer. He most recently played for EFL Championship side Portsmouth.

"We are thrilled to be adding a central midfielder with Andre's quality and experience," said Dr. Erkut Sogut, D.C. United's managing director of soccer operations.

"Andre is a highly technical two-way player with great vision who does important work for his team for 90 minutes, and we are excited he has chosen to join our family."
