Orlando City's first acquisition of the off-season might not be the team's sexiest pick of the winter, but it is still a quality signing that fills some club needs.
Orlando City finally made its first acquisition of the off-season on Thursday, picking up New England Revolution fullback Kevin Alston in Phase 2 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft.
The 27-year-old comes to Orlando after six seasons in New England, where he appeared in 148 games, winning the 2013 MLS Comeback Player of the Year award after battling chronic myelogenous leukemia, and was also voted the Revs' 2010 Defender of the Year.
