Overview
- Portsmouth confirmed that midfielder Andre Dozzell will leave at the end of his contract after turning down a new deal, with D.C. United announcing his signing.
- He will depart on a free when his agreement expires in late June, and he has signed a two-year contract through 2028 with an option for an extra year in Washington.
- The 27-year-old made 80 appearances for Pompey after arriving from QPR in 2024 and featured heavily this season, playing 39 games with goals against Oxford United and Preston North End.
- Manager John Mousinho called the loss disappointing and praised Dozzell’s consistency, while the player thanked fans, staff, and teammates in a farewell message.
- The move takes him outside the UK for the first time to join Rene Weiler’s side, and his debut could come on July 23 at Houston Dynamo after MLS resumes following the World Cup break.
