Orlando City Waives Danny Deakin, May Sign the Midfielder to a USL Deal

Orlando City made a surprise roster move today, waiving its only 2017 MLS SuperDraft pick, Danny Deakin. The move now frees up an international roster spot for the Lions, which could be used sometime soon.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Deakin may soon be signing a USL contract with Orlando City B.

Deakin was the only Orlando City selection in the January draft, where he was picked 64th overall. After sustaining an injury early in preseason, he missed a lot of training with the team, but was signed to the team on March 3.
