Blackburn Rovers defender Derrick Williams has joined Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy after having his contract cancelled by mutual consent.

The 28-year-old has only played 11 games this season because of injury, but had been a regular since moving from Bristol City in August 2016.

He made a total of 152 appearances for the club, scoring six goals.

The Republic of Ireland international will join Galaxy in time for the 2021 season, which starts in April.
