San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Jovan Kirovski was traded Monday to the Los Angeles Galaxy for a conditional pick in Major League Soccer's 2010 supplemental draft.

Kirovski, 32, split this season between the Colorado Rapids and Earthquakes, playing 154 minutes in nine matches.

The American international has posted 24 goals and 10 assists in 118 matches, including 102 starts, over five MLS seasons with the Galaxy, Rapids and Quakes.

"Jovan is an experienced player who we are happy to have back," Galaxy general manager and head coach Bruce Arena said. "He has shown the ability to play abroad, internationally and in MLS and is a welcome addition to our roster."

Kirovski began his pro career with Manchester United in 1992 and later won the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund in 1997.

He also played for Fortuna Cologne, Sporting Lisbon, Crystal Palace and Birmingham City before signing with the Galaxy.
