Anthony Pulis has called central Florida home for the past five years. During that time he was a player, academy coach, and OCB’s head coach, but Pulis left Orlando in November to take over at Saint Louis FC.
Prior to Pulis parting ways with Orlando City there were wholesale changes with OCB’s roster. The Englishman jumped on this opportunity to sign players that he previous worked with.
Albert Dikwa and Austin Martz both played important roles for Pulis with OCB in 2017, playing in 22 and 30 games, respectively. They combined for five goals and four assists, which is impressive in what was a slow attacking year for the young Lions.
