Since Orlando City created their USL side last season, OCB has been a helpful tool for MLS players recovering from injury. It serves as a way to ease players back into competition before appearing in an MLS match, and also allows Orlando City to draw from younger talent in their own organization.
According to OCB Head Coach Anthony Pulis, all the MLS players who have come through OCB have come with a professional mentality. They understand the importance of being able to play in a match, even if they aren’t playing with the first team. That mentality has gone a long way in developing OCB as a successful USL side.
