COPENHAGEN -- Danish goalie Jimmy Nielsen says he is joining Kansas City Wizards on a one-year contract.

Nielsen's team Vejle Boldklub said in a statement Thursday that Nielsen needs to undergo a medical check before switching to the Major League Soccer team.

The Danish club didn't disclose financial details of the transfer.

The 32-year-old Nielsen joined Vejle Boldklub in January 2008 from Leicester City.

Last year, Vejle Boldklub was relegated from Denmark's top league and is now eighth in the first division.
