The number of Orlando City SC off-season arrivals now stands at three with experienced Canadian international midfielder Will Johnson having joined the Lions earlier today.

Signing a two-year contract with an option for a third, the 29-year-old looks a shrewd purchase having won MLS Cup twice while earning 41 caps with his national side.
