Lifeline yet for Sean St Ledger as he joins forces with Kevin Doyle at Colorado Rapids

Quick turnaround

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.
