Orlando City SC have signed midfielder Jeorgio Kocevski through the 2024 MLS season with options for 2025-27, the club announced Tuesday.

Kocevski, 21, was selected No. 21 overall (first round) by Orlando in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft out of Syracuse University.

ā€œJeorgio has had a really strong preseason camp with us, demonstrating everything we saw in him when we were scouting him and analyzing his game in college,ā€ Luiz Muzzi, Orlandoā€™s EVP of soccer operations and general manager, said in a release.

ā€œHeā€™s done well working his way into the group, even starting in our friendly against Flamengo and holding his own against some of the best in Brazil, and weā€™re excited to have him with us this season.ā€

While at Syracuse, Kocevski posted 7g/18a in 71 games. He was named ACC Co-Midfielder of the Year as a senior and helped the Orange win the 2022 NCAA national title.

A year ago, Orlando posted a club-record 63 points (18W-7L-9D). Their season debut arrives on Feb. 24 vs. CF MontrƩal (7:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass).
