Brazilian right back Ruan got an easy-to-follow piece of advice from Orlando City coach James O’Connor before coming to Orlando.
The 23-year-old right back said he was told to keep up what he was doing while with Brazilian Série B side Associação Atlética Ponte Preta. He made 17 appearances for Ponte Preta in 2018 while on loan from Série A side Sport Club Internacional. While with Ponte Preta, he started in seven consecutive matches and went 360 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal.
Ruan wants to bring that success to Orlando City. He was signed to a one-year deal in January.
