The 2022 season was Andrés Perea’s third with Orlando City after originally signing on loan from Atletico Nacional in December of 2019. Perea was permanently signed after a 2020 season in which he appeared in every single one of Orlando’s games except for the MLS is Back Tournament final. Following the conclusion of the 2021 season, the club exercised its contract option for the 2022 season.
With ample depth in the defensive midfield, it was no surprise that Perea did not find himself as a starter yet again this season.
