Dean Smith's Charlotte have secured vital defensive reinforcements after completing a move for former Nottingham Forest left-back Harry Toffolo.
The 29-year-old former England youth international joins up with the Crown amid some of their best form of the current 2025 MLS season, while questions remain surrounding their frailties at the back.
Toffolo was previously a standout performer at the City Ground as the club re-established itself in the top flight of the English pyramid, with other postings across a journeyman career including Huddersfield Town, Lincoln City, Doncaster Rovers, Scunthorpe United, and Swindon Town.
Charlotte, despite being on a current run of form that sees them reaching the MLS Cup playoffs as things stand, is posting one of the worst defensive records in the Eastern Conference.
Toffolo's experience at the back, hopefully, will prove decisive for Smith and company.
