Toronto FC signs veteran Italian defender Domenico Criscito

Toronto FC has added another Italian to the fold, signing veteran defender Domenico (Mimmo) Criscito.

The 35-year-old Criscito was signed through 2023 using targeted allocation money.

“Mimmo is a player who will add valuable veteran presence to our team,” Toronto president Bill Manning said in a statement. “He has played in a number of important games for his club and country in his career, has been a captain at Genoa, and we’re excited he will be joining our club.”

Criscito joins star forward Lorenzo Insigne, formerly captain of Napoli, in coming to Toronto.
