Orlando City SC acquired Icelandic midfielder Dagur Dan Thorhallson on a two-year contract with club options for 2025 and 2026.

The 22-year-old arrives from Breidablik UBK, a top-flight club in Iceland.

Since turning pro in 2016, Thorhallson has registered 18 goals and 11 assists in 118 appearances.

"Dagur Dan is a versatile player that can play both in the midfield for us, out on the wings or even at right back if we need and he's been involved with Iceland's National Team program since his days with the U16s," said Orlando City general manager Luiz Muzzi. "He has a great engine and fits the profile of a box-to-box player that can give us strength in both our attack and defense."

Internationally, Thorhallson made his senior team debut for Iceland in a friendly against Saudi Arabia on Nov. 6, 2022.
