How the Unfortunate Death of Pro Soccer in a Texas Town Gave Orlando City a New Young Gun

The story of how the unfortunate apparent death of the Austin Aztex provided Orlando City with a new young gun who's turning heads.

During the 2015-16 off-season, Orlando City made two key additions to its new reserve team. Midfielders Mikey Ambrose and Tony Rocha moved from the USL's Austin Aztex to play for Orlando City B in Melbourne.

During the first couple of preseason games, Rocha has begun to make a name for himself. He started for the Lions in their first preseason game in Melbourne against Eastern Florida State College and, after being replaced at halftime by Carlos Rivas, came back on to finish the game following Rivas' hamstring injury.
