Segbers will be added to the Club's roster upon completion of any mandatory quarantine period under local government and MLS health and safety protocols.

"Mark had a strong season with Memphis 901 FC and his arrival will be beneficial as we head into the final stretch of the year" said LAFC Co-President & General Manager John Thorrington. "We look forward to getting him acclimated to the group as quickly as possible."

In 2018, the 5-foot-9 defender notched two goals and four assists in 19 matches with Orange County. Segbers also saw action in the Revolution's Fourth Round U.S. Open Cup match, playing all 90 minutes of the 3-2 loss against Louisville City FC on June 6. Four months later, he would make his MLS debut during New England's 4-1 defeat against Real Salt Lake on October 19.

With seven games left in the regular season, LAFC sits in 4th place in the Western Conference with a 7-6-3 record (24 points).
