Orlando City Roster Breakdown: Central Midfielders

CM Junior Urso

Age: 32

Prior Years w/ Orlando City: 2

Urso has brought bite and veteran experience to an Orlando City midfield that desperately needed both. Since his arrival in 2020, Orlando's been night and day in the center of the park. He provides a level of ball progression and box-to-box quality that changed how Orlando can play. Urso will continue to play a significant role for the Lions this season. Last year he was a total iron man for the club, but he might see less game time this year with Andres Perea and César Araújo both fighting for more of a role. This could be the last season for the Brazilian in Orlando, but he's still a key figure in midfield this year.
