UD grad Michael Nsien signed Thursday by the MLS' Los Angeles Galaxy. Nsien, who played for UD from 1999-2002 earned his spot on the Galaxy's developmental roster after he appeared in two games for the Galaxy reserves during the 2005 season (both starts) and played a total of 180 minutes. He did not appear in the Galaxy's 2-2 draw with Kansas City on Saturday.

Nsien is the fourth Flyer in UD's history to join the MLS, joining Rolfe (Chicago Fire, 2005-), Schulte (Tampa Bay Mutiny, 1997; Columbus Crew, 2005-) and Denny Clanton (Chicago Fire, 2004).

Nsien played 73 games for the Flyers from 1999-2002, scoring nine goals and chipping in four assists. He scored two game winning goals, ranks 11th on UD's all-time games played list and 10th on UD's games started list with 64.
