Orlando City B, the Lions’ USL club, announced today that it will be bringing back just five players from the side’s inaugural roster next season.
OCB captain Lewis Neal, midfielder Pierre Da Silva and forward Michael Cox will return to the team on existing contracts for the 2017 season, while defender Zach Ellis-Hayden and goalkeeper Jake Fenlason to new contracts, pending USL and federation approval.
