As Orlando City approaches its first Audi MLS Cup Playoffs run in its history, there has been a noticeable integration of former Academy talent within the First Team with the Homegrown signings of Jordan Bender, Michael Halliday and David Loera in the past year, exemplifying the Club’s commitment to its investment in its young talent.
Loera, an Orlando native and Academy product since the first days of the Orlando City Academy, made his professional debut with the First Team this season when he stepped onto the pitch on Oct. 3 against the New York Red Bulls at Exploria Stadium.
