Interest in Tommy Redding never fades.
He's a local kid, #OviedoStrong, whose relentless work resulted in skills that landed him a starting job in Major League Soccer on Orlando City's back line at the age of 19.
How he performs, whether he's in the lineup or not, what his injuries are, how he's recovering, what his next move will be, where he fits in the future of the club — local soccer fans care about all of it, because he's one of them.
Some were concerned when former coach Adrian Heath chose Redding over veteran Aurélien Collin at the beginning of the season.
