Orlando City is set to add Irish-American centerback Shane O’Neill, addressing the club’s lack of depth on the back line following numerous injuries so far this season.
A club source confirmed O’Neill, who trained with the Lions on Tuesday, has been signed. He’ll be available for selection after the secondary transfer window opens on July 10.
He joins Orlando City from Excelsior Rotterdam, which plays in Eredivisie, the highest division of professional soccer in the Netherlands.
The 6-foot-2, 24-year-old centerback has MLS experience. From 2012 until 2015, he played for the Colorado Rapids, compiling 52 appearances (48 starts) in league play and scoring one goal.
