Brighton forward Jurgen Locadia has completed a loan switch to MLS club FC Cincinnati.

The Dutch forward cut short his spell with Hoffenheim to make the switch across to the States.

He arrives as Cincinnati's designated player.

"We are excited to bring in a proven forward in Jurgen to strengthen our attacking abilities," said FC Cincinnati general manager Gerard Nijkamp.

"He is a talented goalscorer in his prime and we feel adding an impact player of his calibre will be a great addition to our club."
