Despite having just won the MLS Cup, the Columbus Crew are already looking ahead to next season. According to The Athletic, the Crew are close to signing Derrick Jones Jr. The midfielder would arrive as a free agent after his contract with Charlotte FC came to an end. While the signing has not yet been made official, it is expected to be announced over the coming weeks.
Jones’ career to date
After ending 2023 with the third league title in the club’s history, Columbus Crew want to strengthen for the future. Jones can play in midfield and at centre-back. At 26 years of age, he has already forged a reputation for himself after spells with Houston Dynamo, Philadelphia Union, Nashville and most recently Charlotte.
