MONTREAL — CF Montreal traded defender Rudy Camacho to the Columbus Crew for US$400,000 in general allocation money on Monday.

Camacho was consistently in Montreal’s starting 11 this season, having played in 20 of 23 Major League Soccer games.

The 32-year-old from France signed with Montreal in 2018, making the move from Belgian First Division A club Waasland-Beveren, and won the team’s defensive player of the year award in 2021.

Last year, Montreal re-signed Camacho to a two-year contract through the end of this season.

Camacho made 128 MLS appearances (126 starts) over his six seasons in Montreal and scored seven goals.
