DONE DEAL: Ex-Preston, Leicester defender St Ledger joins Orlando City

Orlando City SC have confirmed the signing of Irish defender Sean St Ledger.

The MLS expansion club have secured the Republic of Ireland international, 30, as a free agent after a successful trial during pre-season for the 2015 campaign.

St Ledger joins the Lions having previously spent time with English clubs Peterborough United, Stevenage, Preston North End, Middlesbrough, Leicester City, Millwall and Ipswich Town which will hold him in good stead in MLS according to new coach Adrian Heath.

"We're delighted to have Sean on our roster, as he brings a lot of experience at the Club and international level," said Heath in a statement.

"He's a very versatile defender who is comfortable playing in several positions along the backline, which is a big bonus for the squad."
