Orlando City B signs U.S. youth national team midfielder and Orlando City Development Academy product Jordan Bender. Bender marks the first OCB signing for the inaugural USL League One season set to begin play in 2019.
“This is a really exciting moment for us,” OCB general manager Mike Potempa said. “Our first movement shows that we strongly believe in our Development Academy as Jordan is a player with tremendous ability and we are extremely pleased to have him on board as we build the roster for the upcoming season.”
Bender, 17, has played for the Orlando City Development Academy since he was 14, when he started with the U-13/14s.
