[December 20, 2018]    Orlando City SC has signed goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh and defender Kyle Smith from Louisville City, the team announced Wednesday.

 

The move reunites the duo with head coach James O'Connor, who coached Louisville from 2015-18 and took over at OCSC in June.

Ranjitsingh, 25, made 81 appearances and recorded 33 shutouts for Louisville since joining the club in 2015. He was a four-year starter at Mercer College in Macon, Georgia.

"After four years at the club where I started my professional career, it's time for me to say goodbye as I pursue an opportunity I have been working really hard for," wrote Ranjitsingh on social media. "Being an original member of this club, it was amazing for me to be part of the success and to see the growth of football in this city. This club will always be special to me and I have a lot to be thankful for."

Since joining Louisville, the 26-year-old Smith made 95 appearances and led the team in minutes in both 2016 and 2018. He attended Transylvania University (Lexington, Kentucky) and left as the team's all-time leader in goals and assists.

"The last three years in Louisville have been an unforgettable experience. Playing for Louisville City FC was a dream come true, signing my first professional contract," Smith wrote. "I want to thank the coaching staff and the owners for giving me the opportunity to play for such a great club. And also helping me grow as a soccer player and as a person."
