The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Colorado has traded Dillon Powers to Orlando City in exchange for midfielder Luis Gil. As part of the deal, Colorado sent $100,000 in TAM as well to Orlando City, as Orlando had originally paid Luis Gil $100,000 due to a clause in his contract giving right of first refusal. Gil had been on loan to Orlando City from Mexican side Queretaro.
The deal closes what was a productive yet ultimately unfulfilled career for Powers with the Rapids. Drafted with the 11th pick of the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, Powers went on to win MLS Rookie of the Year in his first season, with 5 goals and 6 assists for manager Oscar Pareja.
