Miami FC has signed Jamaican midfielder Lovel Palmer, the club announced today. 

A staple on the Jamaica national team from 2005-2012, Palmer made 29 appearances for the Reggae Boyz. He was integral in the squad that won the 2010 Caribbean Cup and was crucial during the 2014 FIFA World Cup CONCACAF qualifiers. 

At the club level, Palmer spent his first 11 senior seasons with Harbour View of the National Premier League in Jamaica. Palmer scored 41 goals in 143 appearances for the team and won the championship on three separate occasions.

Since 2010, Palmer has spent every season of his professional career in the United States. He has featured for the Houston Dynamo, Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake, Chicago Fire, and most recently Indy Eleven. 

Capable of playing in the midfield or at right back, Palmer brings versatility and depth at several positions for the Orange and Blue.

Palmer will be available for the match against North Carolina FC tomorrow night.
