According to a social media report from ESPN soccer columnist Jeffrey Carlisle, former New England Revolution center back A.J. Soares is training with Orlando City.
The Revs still own the MLS rights to the 27-year-old, who played for Viking Stavanger FK in Norway’s Tippeligaen during the 2015-16 season. Soares played 12 league matches and three cup games with Viking during this past season. The California product spent four seasons with the Revs, appearing in 108 matches and scoring six goals.
Soares, who is soon to be out of contract, is a versatile defender with MLS experience and has played in an MLS Cup final in 2014, starting alongside Jose Goncalves in a 2-1 loss to the LA Galaxy.
