Dub Narcotic Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Country USA Born April 19, 1994 (23 yo) Position Midfielder Shirt number 41 Height 6 ft0 Weight 165 lbs ORLANDO, Fla. – Orlando City B announced four new additions on Tuesday, with former Portland Timbers 2 forward Ben Polk being joined by a trio of midfielder with USL experience in Paul Clowes, Austin Martz and Jordan Schweitzer for the 2017 USL regular season. The signings are pending league and federation approval. Schweitzer, 22, joins OCB after a successful season with Seattle Sounders FC 2. The first-year pro was third on the team in scoring, posting four goals and two assists in 22 appearances. In four years at the University of Denver, the Washington state native made 70 starts and was a three-time All-Summit League First Team selection, and also competed for the Sounders FC U23 in the PDL. “Jordan had a great year in Seattle and we fought off a lot of competition to land him,” Pulis said. “He’s a strong, competitive player who has a great range of passing.” johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 So what's the Canada connection? Remind me, did we previously know about him? Fullback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Schwietzer was with the U-23 in Qatar for Aspire tourny last winter...nobody remembers this?? Played alot with Orlando B, (20+ games) this year. Not sure why Cox would get a call when guys like Haber, Jackson etc sit and we have Cav, Larin, AJH, Rickets etc. Maybe he is cover at DM for Piette?? Its a strange one, but nice to see the pool gettting a bit deeper. BCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Kaye national team selection really opened things up for him at his club. Here is hoping some more of these USL, and MLS fringe guys get a boost from wearing the red and white. Shway, johnyb and Northvansteve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Maybe it's just to captie Schweitzer. Him becoming a regular in the MNT seems like an absolute longshot right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Then why invite this guy while there's at least a dozen of comparable players hanging around in USL right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Richie Laryea has earned a call-up, mor so than Schweister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Vince I agree, but I dont think Laryea would play in front of others in camp. I could see Schweitzer getting a look for 10min at the end of the game as a sub for Piette. Roberts should get a look, but I think Kapor also deserves a shot, and Oz can only work in a few debutantes at a time. And I think the fact that Roberts is already cap tied to us and Kapor is not affects OZ decision as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Why does this forum always have to have discussions about why certain players were not called over another players when those players do not play the same position as the player in question?

Stryker911 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Played the second half for LAFC in a friendly against Penarol. Signed by Phoenix Rising for this upcoming season and it appears there is a lot of player movement between the clubs with LA loaning players down. Not sure why LA would give him time in a friendly unless they had a bit of interest in him. Bison44 and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
