Orlando City announced today that Brazilian right back Ruan has signed a new two-year contract with an option for a third year. The club exercised the defender’s option from his first contract after his initial two-year deal expired following the 2021 season. The new agreement will keep the starting right back in Orlando through the 2023 or 2024 MLS season.
“We are very happy to have Ruan continue as a member of our club,” Orlando City Vice President of Soccer Operations Luiz Muzzi said in a club press release. “In his time here, Ruan has continued to solidify his importance amongst our roster and showcased his ability both on his defense and in the attack.
