OCB now has a complete roster with Brandon Johnā€™s arrival on Friday. The Canadian defender has seen USL minutes with Seattle Sounders 2 and the Canadian Youth National Teams. John is recovering from a previous injury with an undetermined recovery time.

Forward/midfielder Ates Diouf is second in shots among the USL (12) and goalkeeper Juliano Chade is third for saves (10). Osei-Wusu leads the young Lions with goals (2).

Orlando City B returns home to Monteverde on Friday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m. when it hosts Chattanooga at Montverde Academy. The young Lions will turn around and return to the Lone Star State to take on North Texas on Saturday, May 11.
