It won't be long until Orlando City regret or revel in Kyle Smith's Cincinnati switch

After seven storied seasons in Central Florida, Kyle Smith has departed for pastures new.

Truth be told, most Orlando City supporters would've expected their former full back to hang up his boots when negotiations over a possible renewal stalled and instead return to accountancy - a quirk about his pre-soccer professional life that made him so relatable during his time here.

But no. Yesterday, it was confirmed that the 33-year-old had opted to prolong his footballing career, joining Eastern Conference rivals FC Cincinnati on an initial one-year deal.
