Real Salt Lake has done it again: Four days, four homegrown signings. Today, it’s Jaziel Oroczo, a defender who came up through the Real Salt Lake academy and has been playing at Real Monarchs.
Orozco, 17, featured in preseason for Real Salt Lake in 2021, playing in one match. He went on to make 24 appearances for Real Monarchs last year.
A prospect for the Mexican national team, Orozco has been called up to U-17 and U-20 sides for the nation.
From a club-issued release, RSL general manager Elliot Fall:
“To find a center back with quality on the ball and who reads the game as well as Jaziel, is rare - to find it in a player his age is exceptional.
