CB – Seb Hines – Unattached

Collin’s centre half partner was Englishman Seb Hines, who was appearing for Orlando City on loan for the 2015 campaign, where he made 23 appearances.

Hines’s career started at his hometown club of Middlesbrough, who were in the Premier League when he made the breakthrough into the senior team. The defender made over 70 appearances for the English side over a ten year period that was littered with injuries and loan spells, playing at both centre back and as a defensive midfielder for the Teesside club.

Hines spente time with Derby County, Oldham Athletic and Coventry City before spending the 2015 season on loan with the Lions. After a successful campaign, Orlando City signed the Englishman on a permanent deal. The centre-half, who played for several of England’s age groups in his youth days, stayed in Florida through to the end of 2017.

Hines played over 50 times for the Lions in MLS, and also scored five times for the club in his three seasons. He also spent some time with their B team on loan, before the club declined his option at the end of the 2017 season. Since then, the Englishman has been unattached, but remains in search of a club.
