Orlando City SC announced the signing of longtime Seattle Sounders midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro on Thursday.
The 34-year-old free agent agreed to a contract for the 2024 season with an option for 2025.
Lodeiro won two MLS Cups (2016, 2019) and a Concacaf Champions League title (2022) with the Sounders.
He registered 41 goal and 80 assists in 191 matches (179 starts) in eight seasons with Seattle from 2016-23.
“We are thrilled to have Nico join us here in Orlando. He is a player we are very familiar with and feel fits perfectly within the style of soccer we want to play,” Orlando City general manager Luiz Muzzi said in a release. “He is a proven winner in this league … he knows what it takes.”
Lodeiro earned 60 caps and appeared in two World Cups and four Copa Americas with Uruguay. His pro career also includes stops at Argentina’s Boca Juniors, Brazil’s Corinthians and Botafogo, the Netherlands’ Ajax and Uruguay’s Nacional.
