A 19-year-old academy product that has shown flashes of promise for LAFC in his rookie year, Nathan Ordaz sits down with the UP Pod crew to discuss making his way up the youth ranks, his wild pro debut, and his love for The Bear.
Before they had an MLS roster, LAFC wanted Nathan Ordaz. Rising through the youth ranks all the way up to the first team, Ordaz has shown plenty of quality despite still being in his teens.
The 19-year-old forward has scored twice for LAFC in his rookie season, with both goals coming in back-to-back Leagues Cup matches. Despite playing alongside an extremely talented crop of attacking players, Ordaz has seen his playing time increase as the season has gone on, and is eager to take advantage of his growing opportunities with the club.
He joins the Urban Pitch Podcast crew to discuss coming up in the LAFC Academy, making his club debut in a wild U.S. Open Cup match, and his go-to postgame vibe song.
