Scott Arfield has completed his transfer switch to the MLS.
The former Rangers midfielder has finalised a move to Charlotte FC.
He has signed a one-year deal with the option of a further season into 2025.
Arfield, 34, left Rangers at the end of the season upon the expiry of his contract.
But he had insisted he was planning to play on as he bid an emotional farewell at Ibrox.
Now, Charlotte FC has been revealed as Arfield's new club - with the player reportedly turning down Championship offers for a move Stateside.

Charlotte sporting director Zoran Krneta commented: “We’re delighted to be signing a midfielder of Scott’s caliber who joins Charlotte FC after a decorated career in Scotland and England. He’s featured over 100 times for four different clubs which speaks to the quality and consistency Scott has shown throughout his playing career.
"He brings a wealth of leadership experience in big matches to our dressing room, including three promotion-winning seasons in England, two trophies with Rangers, and a run to a European final.
"Scott is excited to join our Club for the next part of his career, and we look forward to him debuting for Charlotte FC following the opening of the secondary transfer window.”
Arfield previously hinted at a possible return to Rangers in the future "in some capacity" in his final weeks at the club.
He told Sky Sports: "I don't know. I need to go an wait and see what comes up. I'm open to everything.
"I just want to be happy, I want to continue playing. I said when I was 16 years of age I wanted to try and play until 40, that's not changed.
"Until somebody tells me I'm not good enough or I get an injury that's going to keep me out I'm going to continue as long as I can.
"This is where I am at my happiest, when I am playing football and I am enjoying myself - long may it continue."
