Reports: Martin Paterson in talks with Orlando City

Former Burnley striker Martin Paterson has reportedly held discussions to join Orlando City in the MLS.

The 27-year-old joined Huddersfield Town in 2013, but he has struggled to hold down a regular place at the John Smith's Stadium and has consequently had loan stints with Bristol City and Fleetwood Town.

As a result, the Terriers are prepared to part with the centre-forward, which has brought about the interest from Orlando boss Adrian Heath, according to numerous reports.

Were the Northern Irishman to finalise the switch, he would become a teammate of former Brazilian international Kaka.
