Former Orlando City Midfielder Will Play Key Role for OCB in 2016

In addition to Lewis Neal, there will be another former Lion in Jonathan Mendoza playing a crucial role for Orlando City B.

A lot has been made about midfielder Lewis Neal signing a contract with Orlando City’s reserve side, Orlando City B, and the impact he will have. But, while Neal will be the most well-known former senior team player to join the USL outfit, there’s another player returning to help his former club.

In 2008, an 18-year-old midfielder on his way to Stetson University joined the PDL’s Central Florida Kraze. Colombian-born Jonathan Mendoza had relocated to Altamonte Springs, where he attended Lyman High School.
