“We are excited to welcome Jere to Charlotte. His experience at the highest level of the game, whether that be helping his country to their first-ever major tournament in Euro 2020 or advancing into the knockout rounds of the Europa League, will be a vital addition to the squad,” sporting director Zoran Krneta said in a news release.
“We needed a specific player profile to align with our head coaches’ playing style and fill a position of need, and Jere’s skills and experience fill both objectives. We look forward to integrating him with the team alongside our other summer signings as we strengthen the roster for a push to the playoffs.”
Uronen is coming off a loan spell with FC Schalke 04 in Germany’s Bundesliga.
He has also played for clubs in his native Finland, as well as in Sweden, Belgium and France.
