With an hour left in a half-day trade window Sunday, Orlando City finalized and announced a trade with Atlanta United FC, sending Lions midfielder Harrison Heath to the 2017 expansion side in exchange for a fourth-round pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft.
“I would like to thank Harrison for his years of dedication to our Club and for helping us in our move from the USL to MLS,” Orlando City assistant general manager Niki Budalic said in a statement released by the club. “We wish him the best of luck moving forward.”
Heath, 20, is a homegrown defensive midfielder who signed with the club in 2014 when the Lions still played in the United Soccer League.
