Loudoun United FC News Release

Loudoun United FC have acquired forward Orlando Sinclair for their inaugural season in the USL Championship pending league and federation approval.

"Orlando is the type of player that can really change our team offensively. He is an up-and-coming star in Costa Rica having already featured for Deportivo Saprissa at a young age. His power, speed, and scoring ability are attributes any team would wish to have in a forward," Dane Murphy, Loudoun United FC Technical Director, said. "We are excited and feel lucky to have a player of his caliber in the team for the 2019 season."

Sinclair joins Loudoun United from Deportivo Saprissa, a club that plays in the Liga de Fútbol de Primera División (first division) in Costa Rica. He made his debut for Saprissa on October 3, 2018 in the Apertura Tournament at the Ricardo Saprissa Stadium. The forward entered the game in the 82nd minute and scored his first goal four minutes later to earn a 4-0 win.

Sinclair started his career with CS Uruguay de Coronado, a team in the Segunda División de Costa Rica, the second tier in Costa Rica. He made his professional debut for the club on Feb. 10, 2018 and went on to make 15 total appearances. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3-0 win over Aserrí F.C., on March 14, 2018, to help his team advance to the semifinals of the Clausura Championship.
