Rodrigo Schlegel completed his third season with Orlando City as the team’s third center back, but he was called into action as a starter a lot more often in 2022 than in previous years due to injuries to both Robin Jansson and Antonio Carlos. The club signed Schlegel on Dec. 23, 2019 on a loan deal from Racing Club in Argentina. The Lions made that loan permanent in December of 2020 and, earlier this year, Orlando City signed Schlegel to a new two-year contract through 2023 with club options in 2024 and 2025.
