The San Jose Earthquakes have signed veteran midfielder Simon Elliott, the club announced today. The 34-year-old New Zealand international has been training with the club all through preseason, and holds a green card.

“We have always known that Simon was a quality player,” said General Manager of Soccer Operations John Doyle. “He had a number of very good seasons in MLS and was able to move to England. It has been a pleasant surprise to see him overcome his Achilles’ injuries. He once again looks like the Simon Elliott that we have always known.”
