Philadelphia Union signs midfielder Roland Alberg

Philadelphia Union has strengthened its midfield with the acquisition of Dutch midfielder Roland Alberg from ADO Den Haag.

The 25-year-old was signed using allocation money as Alberg puts pen to paper on a two-year contract.

"Roland has the versatility and ability to play multiple positions at a high level of class," Philadelphia Union sporting director Earnie Stewart said. "He's a player we immediately identified as a perfect fit for our club as he'll add additional quality to our midfield."

The Union kicks off its Major League Soccer campaign at FC Dallas on March 6.
