Orlando City have announced that Brek Shea has completed his move to the newly-formed MLS side from Stoke City.
The USA international spent the last two years with the Premier League side, but he has struggled for playing time, resulting in loan spells at Barnsley and Birmingham City in 2014.
The club's founder Phil Rawlins told their website: "Brek is one of the key 'finishing touches' to a high-quality, competitive squad that Paul McDonough and Adrian Heath have assembled over the past several weeks and months.
"His pedigree, success in MLS and on the international stage pair well with the experience, youth and talent already present here in Orlando. We can't wait for pre-season training to start so the Lions can take to the pitch and prepare for our much-anticipated debut."
Shea spent five years with FC Dallas before his move to Stoke in January 2013.
