Cyle Larin & Richie Laryea: From Ontario to Orlando

From Ontario to Orlando, Cyle Larin and Richie Laryea are living the dream.

Best friends since they were nine years old, the Canadian duo played together with youth club Sigma FC growing up, then went their separate ways for college, with Larin heading to UConn and Laryea attending Akron.

Larin, of course, turned pro last year, getting taken by Orlando with the No. 1 overall selection in the 2015 SuperDraft before scoring 17 goals to smash the MLS rookie record and take home Rookie of the Year honors.

The 21-year-old was gearing up for his sophomore campaign this January when he got a serious gift from OCSC, who took Laryea with the seventh overall selection in the SuperDraft, reuniting the Canadian international with his old buddy from Toronto.

The two are now building their careers together. They share an apartment outside Orlando, with Laryea keeping Larin grounded as he builds on his wildly successful rookie year and Larin helping Laryea along as he looks to parlay his play with Orlando City B into a chance with the Lions’ first-team.

The latest episode of MLS Insider presented by adidas, Cyle and Richie, takes a look at Larin and Laryea, chronicling their history, friendship and future as they strive for success in Orlando.
