Gaines, 21, appeared in two matches (one start) for Los Angeles FC in his debut campaign in 2023.
He is the younger brother of Nashville forward McKinze Gaines.
"Julian is a dynamic young player who can contribute on the flanks as both a winger and outside back," general manager Mike Jacobs said in a release. "He is someone we think could have a bright future, and we look forward to him being a part of our club."
Gaines also has played for LAFC2 in MLS NEXT Pro and for the Las Vegas Lights in the USL Championship.
