On Thursday, Sporting Kansas City announced the signing of defender Lawrence Olum, a 27 year old Kenyan who previously played with Orlando City SC of the USL Professional Division.
Olum, who had originally joined the Portland Timbers (USL First Division at the time) after high school, played at Missouri Baptist University during his four years of college eligibility.
As is Sporting Kansas City's policy, terms of the agreement were not available.
