Brother of Man Utd's Rooney nabs USL Pro Division weekly gong

Orlando City midfielder John Rooney was named the USL Pro Division Player of the Week for his performance on the weekend.

The younger brother of Manchester United star Wayne Rooney scored two goals and provided an assist as Orlando beat Wilmington Hammerheads 4-1 to make it two wins from two to start the 2012 season.

Rooney joined the Lions, who won last season's title, after his time with New York Red Bulls finished at the end of the 2011 campaign.
