The New England Revolution acquired U.S. international defender Chris Albright from the Los Angeles Galaxy on Friday in exchange for allocation money.

Albright, 29, is a 10-year MLS veteran who has also made 22 appearances for the U.S. national team, including at the 2006 World Cup.

He has 11 goals and 20 assists in 172 career MLS games, and has been on three league championship teams.

Albright appeared in five games for the Galaxy last season before missing the remainder of the season after suffering a torn right hamstring on May 20.

“We’re thrilled to be able to add a proven defender like Chris to our roster,” Revolution director of soccer Michael Burns said. “He’s had success on the field at both the league and international levels, and he has experience winning championships with his past clubs.”

The trade was announced from the 2008 MLS SuperDraft at the Baltimore Convention Center.
