TORONTO --  

Toronto FC has signed veteran forward Herculez Gomez, adding to the most potent offense in Major League Soccer.

The team on Friday sent allocation money to Sporting Kansas City, which held the right of first refusal for the U.S. international within MLS.

Gomez has six goals in 24 appearances for the U.S. national team. He had 23 goals and 13 assists in 124 MLS appearances, including 83 starts.

The 33-year-old Gomez played most recently in Mexico for Puebla Futbol Club. He has MLS experience with the Los Angeles Galaxy, Seattle Sounders, Colorado Rapids and Kansas City. His last MLS season was 2009 with the then-Kansas City Wizards, now Sporting Kansas City.

In another move, Toronto traded defender/midfielder Warren Creavalle to the Philadelphia Union for a second-round pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft.
