St Ledger released by Orlando City for 'a serious breach of club policy'

The defender had done well since his move to the MLS.

Updated at 18.30

THE AMERICAN DREAM is over for Sean St Ledger.

The former Ireland centre half has been โ€˜waivedโ€™ by Orlando City, with the MLS confirming that his release was due to a โ€œserious breach of club policyโ€.

St Ledger has played 15 times for the Florida club, who are coached by Adrian Heath and led by one-time world player of the year, Kaka.

The former Preston defender  โ€” who has 37 Ireland caps, but has not featured since Martin Oโ€™Neill took over as manager โ€” was thought to be impressing since he moved to the MLS.

โ€œThe move opens up an international spot on Orlando Cityโ€™s roster. St. Ledger, who signed with the team on March 5, was making a salary of $124,992. It is not immediately clear how the move impacts Orlando Cityโ€™s salary cap,โ€ Paul Tenorio writes in the Orlando Sentinel.

Orlando are currently in a three-way tie for the final playoff spot.

    I bet most Leinster โ€œfansโ€ couldnโ€™t tell you the name of the previous coach without googling it, worse than Man City for fair weather support. Once they lose their edge (happens to every great team eventually) these โ€œfansโ€ will vanish into thin air and its back to 6,000 at a home Heineken Cup game
