ORLANDO, Fla. – Two-time USL Most Valuable Player Kevin Molino was traded on Thursday evening by Orlando City SC to Minnesota United FC in a deal that sent a total of $450,000 in General Allocation Money and $200,000 in Targeted Allocation Money to the Lions.

Molino was Orlando’s first MLS signing and is City’s all-time leader in goals (42) and assists (31). He also ranks second all-time in appearances (140) and minutes (10,751). He is now reunited with Adrian Heath, now the Loons’ Head Coach as Minnesota enters Major League Soccer this season.

“Where do you start with Kevin [Molino] as a player, he has incredible touch on the ball, can score goals, can create goals, he has great balance, there’s nothing he can’t do with a football,” said Heath. “In my opinion he’s the best player in his position in the country.”
