Klazura, 23, was drafted by Whitecaps FC in the second round (21st overall) of 2012 MLS Supplemental Draft.

The full back spent five years at the University of Notre Dame and served as the team's co-captain in his final season of college ball.

Klazura can play on either side of the back line and gives Vancouver added depth as the club looks to solidify its roster before the start of the new season.
