Through Orlando City’s MLS existence the club has consistently been poor on the defensive end of the ball. This off-season, the Lions have re-signed Seb Hines, extended Jose Aja’s contract, held onto David Mateos, and were close to signing Gregory Sertic. While some of these moves were controversial, a major goal this off-season has been improving the defense.
The next player rumored to be signing for Orlando City is Jonathan Spector, and he could be one of the pieces to finally get Orlando City into the playoffs. Spector has been allowed to leave early from his contract with English Championship side Birmingham City and according to FourFourTwo’s Paul Tenorio, may soon be coming to Orlando City.
