Three clubs in nine months is not the kind of consistency that international managers fall in love with.
But Sean St Ledger will be delighted to have found himself a club less than a week after being let go by Orlando City “for a serious breach of club policy.”
The defender’s 15 games in MLS did enough, though, to persuade Colorado Rapids head coach Pablo Mastroeni to take a punt on the Republic of Ireland international.

The club confirmed the signing of St Ledger in a statement this evening.
“Sean is an important addition to our roster,” said Paul Bravo, VP of Soccer Operations and Technical Director. “He has leadership skills and experience having played at a very high standard in English football, in addition to a long career with the Irish national team. Also he has had half-a-season in MLS so he will complement our existing squad. We are sure he’ll make a valuable contribution at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.”
The 30-year-old joins up with international teammate Kevin Doyle at the club and we’re hoping that he settles down this time.
