June 27 (UPI) -- LAFC and French forward Olivier Giroud agreed to part ways, they announced Friday. The MLS club signed Giroud in May 2024. He totaled five goals over 37 appearances. "Olivier has been an exemplary professional during his time at LAFC," LAFC co-president and general manager John Thorrington said in a statement.

Giroud helped the club reach the 2024 Leagues Cup final in which he scored his first goal for the Black & Gold. He also scored in the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final, helping LAFC win the first Open Cup trophy in club history. Overall, Giroud has scored three goals and registered four assists in 20 regular season matches.

Giroud, who was in line to visit Gillette Stadium with LAFC in August, struggled to adapt to the MLS game and usually played as a substitute.
