Peterson has played for San Jose Earthquakes, Toronto FC and the Colorado Rapids during his six seasons in the MLS.
“It’s an exciting time here,” Peterson said. “I want to increase the overall depth of the team. I think we’re all going in the right direction and together we can achieve a lot this year.”
“Jacob is a player that we feel is going to fit in very well with our team right away,” Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes said.
“He’s a player that I’ve worked with, and we feel his experience from playing a number of seasons in the League will be valuable for us.”
