The World Cup winner, nicknamed the “Beast”, will sign for a year after announcing his retirement from internationals after the Springboks were crowned world champions in Japan in November.
“I’m excited and look forward to joining my new teammates and adding value to my new franchise both on and off the field. I believe this opportunity will allow me to mentor the rugby youth in DC and help in my small way to grow the game in the America,” Mtawarira said on Twitter., becoming an icon in South African rugby.
Old Glory DC are new to MLR, which starts its third season in February with 12 teams and a growing array of international names like former England fullback Ben Foden and France centre Matthieu Bastareaud in New York. Former New Zealand centre Ma’a Nonu plays for San Diego and ex-All Blacks winger Rene Ranger and Australia back Digby Ioane are with Colorado Raptors.
