Los Angeles FC acquired Scottish defender Ryan Porteous from English second-tier side Watford on Monday.

Porteous, 26, is under contract through 2028 with an option for 2029.

LAFC sent $100,000 in 2025 general allocation money to Toronto FC to acquire his discovery priority rights.

“We’re excited to welcome Ryan to LAFC. He brings competitiveness, leadership qualities and the type of mentality we value at this club,” co-president and general manager John Thorrington said.

“His experience at both the international and club level, along with his defensive intensity and ability to play out of the back, will be a great addition to our group as we push toward our goals this season.”

Porteous has posted 24 goals and 13 appearances in 274 appearances in Scotland (Hibernian, Edinburgh City) and England (Watford, Preston North End).
