Felipe Martins
Age: 32
2022 Stats: 32 appearances, 1 goal, 3 assists
With the losses of Urso and Perea, Orlando signed a pair of new central midfielders. Felipe Martins is a longtime MLS veteran who brings a combination of grit, pedigree and league experience. He spent last season with Austin FC and became a key reserve for No. 2 in the Western Conference.
Martins won't be more than a rotation player for Orlando, but he has the skillset to be a difference maker off the bench or a reliable spot starter.
