Northern Irish striker Martin Paterson has quit MLS side Orlando City.

The club announced on Wednesday that they have mutually terminated the contract of the 28-year-old former Burnley and Stoke City forward.

"Pato was part of the core team that helped kick off Orlando City's MLS debut and we are grateful for his contributions," OCSC general manager Paul McDonough said in a statement released by the club.

The Northern Ireland international managed to make just four appearances for Orlando, due to struggles with injuries.
