Orlando City confirm Honduran striker Rochez as second DP

Orlando City SC has signed Honduras international Bryan Rochez as its second Designated Player.

The MLS expansion franchise has confirmed the capture of the 19-year old striker who has joined from Honduran top flight club Real Espana.

Rochez, who has played six times for Honduras at senior level, made his senior debut for Real Espana and went onto score 29 goals in 59 appearances for the San Pedro Sula outfit.

Orlando City head coach Adrian Heath said of the signing on the club's official website: "We're extremely delighted that Bryan is joining us for the 2015 season.

"He's a player that we've had our eyes on for quite some time now, as we believe that he has the ability to contribute to the team straight away."

Rochez becomes Orlando's second DP signing following the June acquisition of Brazilian star Kaka.
