Robin Jansson has been a fan favorite and staple of the Orlando City defense since he arrived from AIK in the Allsvenskan, the top division of Swedish football. The Lions originally signed the Trollhättan, Sweden native prior to the 2019 season. He helped turn around a dismal defense, and in 2021 he signed a new contract through the 2022 season with option years for 2023 and 2024.
The Viking — or The Beefy Swede as he is affectionately known at The Mane Land — had some injury challenges in 2022, but was still a key contributor to Orlando City’s success.
