CARSON, Calif. (Tuesday, June 2, 2015) – LA Galaxy have signed goalkeeper Andrew Wolverton, the club announced today. Wolverton, a fourth-round selection by the Galaxy in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, joins the team after a four-year standout career at Penn State. Per club and MLS policy, additional terms of the deal were not disclosed.


“Andrew is a talented young player,” said Head Coach and General Manager Bruce Arena. “He will give our team depth at the goalkeeper position going forward.”



The LA Galaxy selected Wolverton in Round 4 (82nd overall) of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft in January.
