Molino, who has been making waves for Orlando City in the USL League in the United States, helped them clinch a playoff spot for the fourth consecutive year with a double strike, to crush the Charlotte Eagles 4-1 on Saturday.

The performance earned him a place on the United Soccer league’s PRO team-of-the-Week for Week 20 of the 2014 season.

“There was this little skinny kid on the right wing who kept catching my eye every time the ball went to him,”said Heath, Orlando City’s head coach.

“We were fortunate that he was out of a contract and so we brought him in here, and he’s gradually gotten better by the week”.

The 24-year –old Molino now has 13 goals this season and sits in second place for the most goals in the USL PRO.

“Now I think he’s close to being nearly complete,” Heath said in an interview with MLS soccer.com.

“He’s starting to put goals and more assists to his game.”

Molino is expected to be in action again when Orlando City play Harrisburg City Islanders at the Skyline Sports Complex.
