Leaving Orlando after season Nani announced Friday that he will leave Orlando City at the end of the calendar year.

Impact Nani is ending a three-year stint in Orlando, where he recorded 31 goals and 18 assists in 88 appearances in all competitions. The 35-year-old isn't slowing down quite yet -- he posted 10 goals and seven assists in 2021 -- and he could still be an important veteran presence for any team that wants to sign him.

Five shots off goal Nani shot five times, all off target during Saturday's 1-0 win over Cincinnati.

Shines off bench in 2-2 draw Nani produced three shots (one on target), sent three crosses (one accurate) and took three corners during the 2-2 draw with Nashville on Wednesday.

Impact Nani was fantastic off the bench. The winger not only took the majority of crosses, but he also had a few well-taken shots from outside of the box. The only issue with his eagerness was the lack of awareness for his teammates. There were a few times when Nani could have fed a teammate into the box instead of shooting and it ultimately could have been the difference-maker. Nevertheless, he remains one of the best options out of Orlando.
