What happened: The 26-year-old returns to his first professional club after five seasons with West Bromwich Albion. Orlando paid Seattle $75,000 in 2027 GAM for his Discovery Priority, with another $75,000 tied to performance metrics.
Why it matters: The signing restores a proven MLS scorer after Orlando moved Duncan McGuire to Houston Dynamo FC. Dike gives the rebuilt forward group a physical hold-up option as league play resumes.
By the numbers: Dike recorded 19 goals and four assists in 41 appearances during his first Orlando spell. The Discovery Priority cost can rise from $75,000 to $150,000 in 2027 GAM.
What to watch: Watch for Dike's availability when Orlando resumes MLS play July 23.
