Gareth Bale: Wales captain agrees move to Los Angeles FC after Real Madrid exit
There was speculation that Bale would end his playing career had Wales missed out on qualification for the 2022 World Cup.
But after Robert Page's side booked their place in Qatar by beating Ukraine in their World Cup play-off final earlier this month, the only question about Bale's future was which club he would join.
But he is instead heading for the MLS, where the season runs from February until October and the competition's secondary transfer window opens on 7 July. LAFC, who are managed by former USA international Steve Cherundolo, are currently top of the MLS' Western Conference and have 19 regular-season games to play.
The end-of-season play-offs follow, with the season-ending MLS Cup final to be played on 5 November - 16 days before Wales' World Cup campaign begins with a game against the USA.
