Michael Orozco Fiscal, Philadelphia Union Part Ways

Michael Orozco Fiscal came to the Philadelphia Union on loan looking like a player around whom a defense could be built. He was young (24), versatile (was capable as both a center back and fullback) and talented (he made 70 appearances with Mexican Primera side San Luis and had participated in numerous USMNT camps). Just one year later, the two sides have parted ways.

Early in the off-season, indications were they were close to a deal that would keep Orozco Fiscal in Philadelphia. But after reports came out that he was no longer training with the team, coach Petr Nowak confirmed that the Union had decided not to exercise their option to buy out the contract and allowed Orozco Fiscal to return to San Luis.
