Orlando City has signed two-time MLS Cup winner Will Johnson to a two-year contract with an option for a third.
Johnson, a three-time MLS All-Star, was a free agent after spending last season at Toronto.
The 29-year-old midfielder reunites with Orlando head coach Jason Kreis, having played under him at Real Salt Lake from 2008-12, winning the MLS Cup in 2009. Johnson also won the trophy in 2015 with Portland Timbers.
"We are pleased to add Will to the team," Orlando general manager Niki Budalic said in a statement.
