Every year in professional sports brings change, and that change opens up new opportunity for players who have found a new place to call home. 

Making the most of a change of scenery is something a host of players in Major League Soccer will be looking to do in 2018 as they have traded their old addresses for new ones.

Some of those players decided to move on via free agency, while others found themselves on the move thanks to trades, with some requested and some not. 

But they'll all be looking to make their new teams and new fans happy to see them in their new colors with some likely aiming to make their old employers regret moving them on.

Here is  list of 15 familiar MLS faces who this year will strive to make an impact after changing teams this offseason. 

Mark Runnacles1Perry Kitchen, LA GalaxyKitchen isn't an MLS-to-MLS signing as he came back from a two-year trek in Europe, but it will still be different to see him in something other than D.C. United's colors. The midfielder comes in hoping to help stabilize a group that struggled to work well together last year and produced poor results. He'll no doubt enjoy consistent playing time, something that was hard to come by after his first year in Scotland. AdvertisementRon Chenoy2David Ousted, D.C. United

Considered one of the top goalkeepers in the league coming into last season, Ousted lost his job in Vancouver midseason to New Zealand international Stefan Marinovic. Now with D.C. United, he’ll battle with fellow MLS veteran Steve Clark for the right to replace one of the league’s best goalkeepers, Bill Hamid, who headed to Europe after the 2017 season. Whether it’s Ousted or Clark between the sticks, they will have big shoes to fill.

Joe Nicholson3Brad Evans, Sporting Kansas City One of the most recognizable faces of the Seattle Sounders since the team joined MLS, Evans moved on as a free agent this winter, signing with Sporting Kansas City. Evans has gained a reputation for his versatility in recent years, capable of filling in across the back line and in the midfield. He won’t be expected to start in Kansas City, but he could see time at any number of positions during the season and, if healthy, could become a very useful piece for Peter Vermes.Joe Nicholson4Ricardo Clark, Columbus Crew The 35-year-old Georgia native spent his last 10 MLS seasons with the Houston Dynamo with a spell in Europe mixed in. Now he moves to his third MLS franchise, joining the Columbus Crew as a free agent. With the deeper midfield slots going to Wil Trapp and Artur, Clark will be asked to be an option off the bench and a veteran presence in the dressing room.
