Orlando City midfielder Cristian Higuita confirmed on Tuesday he’s leaving Major League Soccer to play abroad.
The longtime Orlando City player said the Lions aren’t going to renew his contract and he began exploring his options to play elsewhere.
“I didn’t expect this moment to come too soon,” Higuita told Pro Soccer USA in an exclusive interview Tuesday night. “I was looking forward to being at that club another three or four years – even if they offered me long-term contract, I’ll sign and stay here. Honestly, I’m left sad with the way everything unfolded. … Makes you feel like there isn’t much importance in regards towards a player who spent five years with the team, giving his all.
