SANFORD, Fla. — Shane O’Neill isn’t looking to just provide depth at centerback for Orlando City. Yes, the Lions certainly need depth at the position.

United by chasing down Darren Mattocks in what still […]

That’s because Orlando City has already played half a season’s worth of matches. The club’s current record – marred by an eight-match MLS losing streak – cannot be ignored. The Lions (6-10-1, […]
