We asked our friends over at The Bent Musket five questions about Orlando City's latest field player acquisition, fullback Kevin Alston. They gave us the skinny on what Lions fans can expect from the former New England Revolution man.
On Thursday, Orlando City opted to take part in Stage 2 of the 2015 MLS Re-Entry Draft, selecting defender Kevin Alston from the New England Revolution. Alston, a speedy 27-year-old from Washington D.C., was selected tenth overall by the Revs in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft.
Alston, perhaps not the biggest off-season splash, is an interesting player, making the MLS All-Star Game in 2010 and then fighting back from a diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia in 2013, earning the MLS Comeback Player of the Year Award.
