Julian Fernandez News: Asserts bench role

Fernandez made 14 starts in 37 MLS appearances, including the playoffs, during the 2025 season.

Fernandez started the season as a regular in the lineup but was moved to the bench after a stretch of underwhelming performances. He finished with three goals and five assists, creating 46 chances-an improvement from 2024, though still below expectations. With Nico Fernandez joining midseason, Julian's prospects for reclaiming a consistent starting role in 2026 appear slim, despite having two years remaining on his contract.
