Canucks sign Côte d'Ivoire defender

Toronto FC have finally acquired Ivory Coast defender Oliver Tebily, according to reports in the Canadian press. TFC have had their sights on the 32-year-old for some time, but MLS rules along with work permit issues have held up the move.

Tebily, who played will fill the spot vacated by Andrew Boyens, is a versatile defender who has played every backline position and could even play defensive midfield if called upon. He most recently played with Birmingham City but was not a regular starter on the first team.

General Manager Mo Johnston told The Star that Tebily could mentor TFC's young defenders like Julius James and Pat Phelan. But if TFC fans are hoping Tebily can anchor their defense, he may just end up sinking the ship.
