Canada midfielder Josh Simpson has joined Swiss club Young Boys on a 3 1/2-year contract.

Young Boys says the 28-year-old Simpson has joined his new teammates at a training camp in Spain during the Swiss midseason break.

The club says Simpson was a free agent after terminating his contract with Manisaspor in Turkey over unpaid wages.

Simpson has played 42 internationals for Canada, including at three Gold Cups. He previously played for Millwall in England and Kaiserslautern in Germany.
