Bradley has struggled for Roma this season with only one goal in 11 appearances, five of which were starts.
Despite his lack of production in Serie A (Italian first division), Bradley remains a quality midfielder with impressive playmaking abilities. He’s also likely to play a role in the United States’ midfield during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which begins June 12.
Toronto FC has never made the playoffs in its seven seasons as an MLS franchise. The addition of Bradley gives the club a much better chance of competing in the Eastern Conference next season.
