Returning to Orlando
Cartagena (Achilles) has signed a new contract with Orlando, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Cartagena has reestablished his link with Orlando and will remain with the team, as the midfielder signed a one-year deal for 2026 with an option for 2027. This comes after the midfielder failed to find the field this season, suffering a torn Achilles in February that ended his campaign. He has started in 20 of his 80 appearances with the club while bagging three goals and three assists, likely to resume a starting role once fit again.
