Our City: Former Players Planting Roots Only Helps Orlando in the Long Run

This week the Rollins College men’s soccer team added Orlando City favorite Luke Boden, to the team’s coaching staff. As a long-time fan, I think it’s good to see a player who played such a role in the Lions’ rise through the USL and into MLS start on a path towards what could become a second career. Boden isn’t the first player from the Orlando organization to take up a local role in helping to teach and grow the game in the City Beautiful, of course. His English compatriot, Lewis Neal, has coached with the Orlando City youth academy, while former Pride player Sarah Hagen has been coaching with the youth club since January.
