Yohandry José Orozco Cujía (born 19 March 1991) is a Venezuelan footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Malaysia Super League club Selangor and the Venezuela national team.
Orozco made his professional debut in 2007 with Unión Atlético Maracaibo, aged 16, against Deportivo Anzoátegui. On 2009 he signed with Zulia FC, having a strong presence in the main squad. In the 2010–11 season he became a basic key in the lineup of the Zulians, scoring eight goals in the first half of the tournament.
On 28 January 2011, it was reported that Orozco would sign a four-year contract with VfL Wolfsburg, pending a medical test and economical terms with Zulia FC. He is the third Venezuelan player in the Fußball-Bundesliga, after Juan Arango and Tomás Rincón.[1] The deal was completed on 31 January. The 19-year-old has put pen to paper on a deal that will run until 30 June 2015.[2] With only 1.64 m in height, he is the shortest player to ever being fielded in the German Bundesliga. He never managed to fit a spot in the regular lineup, playing only seven games since his arrival.
After an unsuccessful period in German football, it was reported on 1 June 2013 that he will be signing for Venezuelan team Deportivo Táchira in a three-year contract.[3]
On 29 January 2016, he signed with the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League.[4]
