He has 12 goals and 42 assists in 257 MLS matches with Real Salt Lake (2017-19) and Atlanta United (2020-25).
'Brooks is a proven MLS player whose versatility and skill set are a good complement to our roster,' Crew general manager Issa Tall said in a news release on Tuesday.

Columbus will return from the World Cup break on July 22 against visiting New York City FC.
'I'm extremely excited to be joining the Crew,' Lennon said. 'It's an incredible organization with amazing facilities, and the way Columbus likes to play fits my style perfectly. I can't wait to get going ... and bring home wins for our fans.'
