Ex-Ireland defender Sean St Ledger will be playing alongside Kaka in the MLS this year

The 30-year-old former Leicester and Preston defender had been on trial at the club.

FORMER IRELAND DEFENDER Sean St Ledger has signed for new MLS side Orlando City, it has been confirmed.

The 30-year-old former Leicester and Preston defender had been on trial at the club, and has now signed for the team most famous for having acquired the services of ex-Brazilian superstar Kaka last summer.

“We’re delighted to have Sean on our roster, as he brings a lot of experience at the club and international level,” said Head Coach Adrian Heath.

“He’s a very versatile defender who is comfortable playing in several positions along the backline, which is a big bonus for the squad.”

St Ledger, who has 37 Ireland caps and was an integral part of the side that reached Euro 2012, had been without a club since leaving Ipswich last December.
