The former Lion returns to central Florida to lead Orlando City B in its first season. Mendoza follows the footsteps of ex-teammate Tyler Rosenlund who charted a similar path last year.
While Johnny Mendoza will be missed by Rochester Rhinos fans who grew to know him over his two seasons in Upstate New York, he is returning to a club and a region that already knows him well. Orlando City B announced Mendoza as one of seven signings on Wednesday.
Mendoza was born in Colombia but moved to the United States as a teenager.
