Orbell grew up in London, England. At age 13 he entered Queens Park Rangers Football Academy and graduated from the academy at 18. He had the opportunity to learn every specific detail of the game, playing against the best players in the country and getting to travel and play in big stadiums. Injury forced him to transition from his dream of becoming a professional player to pursuing a career in coaching. He completed his degree in football coaching and business at the University of Cambridge.

Orbell completed the UEFA C license and has started the UEFA B process, leading him to the USA. He has worked in various clubs in our area, including PHMSA, MDSA, AYSO, and recently become the Head Coach of the girls soccer program at Alhambra High. In addition, he founded his own coaching company called AMO Soccer Academy, that has a focus of giving children an opportunity to play, express and be creative individuals in a team-based sport.

Coach Mullins offered that, “We are extremely excited to have Andy joining our coaching staff. He is the perfect fit for maintaining our culture of a competitive soccer environment that has the physical and psychological well-being of our student-athletes at the forefront. His love for the game will ensure our players are challenged and learning, but most importantly, having fun.”
