Veteran Tim Ream Leaves Fulham After Nine Years For Charlotte FC

Ream has signed a two-year contract with his new club with the option for a further year.

The 36-year-old is returning to the MLS 13 years after initially joining Bolton Wanderers from New York Red Bulls.

Ream made 312 appearances for Fulham during his time at the club and was part of three promotion campaigns to the Premier League.

"When I walked through the Motspur Park doors in 2015, I would have never predicted what the following nine years would bring," Ream told Fulham's website.

"The memories made, the connections formed, and the people met along the way have made my time at Fulham more than special.

"I wish I could thank everyone individually for the part they played in shaping me as a player, but more as a person. For all of that, I am beyond grateful. As of today I am no longer a player, but I will always be a fan of Fulham Football Club."

Ream has been capped 61 times by the USA national team.
