Orlando City B has officially signed midfielder Justin Hylton from the Orlando City Academy to a two-year MLS NEXT Pro contract, securing his place with the Club through the 2027 season.
At just 18 years old, Hylton becomes the latest example of Orlando City’s commitment to developing homegrown talent through its academy system and into the professional ranks.
During the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro regular season, Hylton made 14 appearances for Orlando City B, earning six starts in midfield. He made his professional debut on June 1, 2025, against Chattanooga FC, and made an immediate impact by recording his first professional goal contribution—an assist on the game-winning goal deep into second-half stoppage time.
Hylton’s progression highlights the strength of Orlando City’s development pathway and signals another promising young player to watch within the Club’s pipeline.
