Gomez recorded four goals and nine assists in 99 matches with Braunschweig.
“We’re excited to add a player of Johan’s caliber to the club,” Fire head coach Gregg Berhalter said. “To have already accumulated more than 100 appearances in Germany at his age speaks to both his quality and consistency. His versatility gives us valuable flexibility across multiple positions, and we believe he will strengthen the group as we continue building a competitive roster.”
