Avilez was an integral part of North Texas SC’s championship-winning team in 2019, making 20 starts and 46 total saves and recording the second-most clean sheets in League One with nine.
“I’m extremely happy and excited to sign with Tormenta FC,” Avilez said. “I believe Tormenta is one of the teams that should always remain on top of the standings and is capable of winning the title. And hopefully, we can achieve that goal this upcoming season.”

After helping North Texas win the 2019 League One title, he became the second player to complete the FC Dallas youth development pathway, signing a Homegrown Contract in June of 2020.
