Orlando City Nabs Fourth-Round Pick for Tony Rocha’s Rights

Orlando City continues to stockpile low picks in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft. The Lions added a fourth-round pick in the upcoming draft from New York City FC in exchange for Tony Rocha’s rights. The club declined Rocha’s contract option after the 2018 season but still retained his MLS rights. The move allows New York City FC to negotiate a new deal with the 25-year-old Texas native.

Rocha is a versatile young player who appeared all over the pitch for Orlando in 2018. He played fullback, center back, defensive midfield and attacking midfield among his career-high 12 appearances (nine starts).
