Orange County SC News Release


Orange County SC announced today the signing of defender Grayson Doody for the upcoming USL Championship season. Doody joins the Black and Orange after previously playing for Las Vegas Lights FC and CF Montreal of the MLS.

Doody, 24, from Hermosa Beach California most recently played in the USL Championship with Las Vegas Lights FC where he made 11 starts in 16 appearances. Doody helped lead the lights to 4 clean sheets.

"We're thrilled to welcome Grayson to the club," said Peter Nugent, OCSC President of Soccer Operations & General Manager. "After a successful loan spell last year in the USL Championship, he proved himself as an impactful player on both sides of the ball. His versatility and work ethic will make him an invaluable addition, as we aim to build on last season's momentum."

Prior to his loan stint in Las Vegas, Doody was selected with the 10th pick of the 2024 MLS SuperDraft by CF Montreal. Before turning professional, Doody played his youth career with Sand & Surf in Manhattan Beach and the LA Galaxy Academy. Doody spent 4-years as a starter at UCLA and in 2023 he helped lead the Bruins to their first Pac-12 conference title since 2012.

"I'm excited to join OCSC a team that I've always seen from a distance," said Doody. "Being from Hermosa beach, I grew up playing on the fields outside Championship Stadium and now it will be nice to play in front of all the fans. I'm looking forward to meeting the guys and building on this successful project."
