After bringing him in on trial last week, Orlando City has decided to sign 23-year-old Brazilian-Slovakian center back Dionatan Teixeira from Stoke City, reports WFTV's Christian Bruey. There are no details yet on a potential contract, but Teixeira would require an international slot.

Teixeira, however, won't be eligible to join Orlando City until the summer transfer window opens on July 4, but at least the Lions are a step ahead of the ball when it comes to adding reinforcements during the summer window.
