ORLANDO, Fla. (March 14, 2017) - Orlando City B has acquired Brazilian center back Léo Pereira on a season-long loan from official partner Clube Atlético Paranaense. The move is the first player transaction between the two clubs since announcing a partnership in November 2016.
“We're really pleased to capture a player of Leo's quality. He can operate as a center back or left back and has great pedigree having played at a good level in Brazil and for the Brazil youth national teams,” OCB Head Coach Anthony Pulis said. “He's aggressive, reads the game well and is very comfortable in possession.
