Orlando City sign younger brother of Wayne Rooney

John Rooney, the younger brother of Manchester United standout Wayne Rooney, has signed to play with American third-tier club Orlando City. The 21-year-old midfielder’s signing on Thursday is pending United States Soccer Federation approval.

Rooney most recently played with Major League Soccer’s New York Red Bulls, who claimed him in the second round of the 2011 draft. Rooney appeared in five games for the Bulls and made two US Open Cup appearances, where he scored his lone goal of 2011 against FC New York.
