McNulty heads to American side Orange County for fresh start after Reading release

Scotland cap Marc McNulty has moved to America after signing for USL Championships side Orange County SC.

The striker had been a free agent after leaving Reading last summer but is now looking forward to a fresh start across the Atlantic, where he links up with former Dundee United team mate Dillon Powers.

The 30 year-old, who began his career at Livingston, had two separate loan spells at both Hibs and United during his time with the Royals.

McNulty, who has scored 127 goals in 388 appearances across his career, said: “I am very excited for my move to Orange County and to play in the USL Championship. 

“I can’t wait to get started and help the team achieve great things as they have done in the past.”

County general manager Oliver Wyss said: “We are delighted to add Marc, a former Scottish International to our roster.

“Marc’s quality and international experience will have a significant impact on our team and we are convinced he will bring lots of joy to our fans in Orange County.”

Club sporting director Peter Nugent added: “Marc is a prolific striker and a player we expect to play an important role within the team.

“He has the potential to be one of the leading scorers in the league. We look forward to welcoming him to Orange County.”
