“The 2023 SuperDraft was an important building block for our roster and, as we previously said, we were happy to get the players we had our eyes on from the start,” Luiz Muzzi, Orlando’s EVP of soccer operations and general manager, said.
“After a very successful collegiate career, Duncan was of course high on our list and to get two players that were already signed, both him and Shak Mohammed, it helped us have an important step already taken so we could instantly begin their focus on the field.”
The 22-year-old forward, who was chosen No. 6 overall (first round) out of Creighton University, was a pre-signed senior before the SuperDraft.
His contract with Orlando runs through the 2023 MLS season with options for 2024-26.
