Club career

Early career

Born in Panama City, Orelien joined Academia Bagoso FC at the age of seven and moved to Sporting San Miguelito in 2016, aged 15.[2] He made his first team debut – and Liga Panameña de Fútbol – with the latter on 25 March 2017, starting in a 1–1 home draw against Árabe Unido.[3]

After only one appearance during the 2016–17 season, Orelien became a starter in the 2017–18 campaign, scoring his first senior goal on 16 September 2017 by netting the opener in a 2–2 away draw against Alianza.

Cruz Azul

In March 2019, it was announced that Orelien would move to Liga MX side Cruz Azul in July.[4][5] The Mexican side confirmed the transfer on 28 March,[6] and was assigned to the under-20 team upon arriving.

For the 2020–21 season, Orelien was assigned to reserve team Cruz Azul Hidalgo in Liga Premier de México. Despite being regularly used, he returned to Cruz Azul in June 2021, after Hidalgo were dissolved.[7]

Plaza Amador

On 11 August 2021, Orelien returned to his home country after joining Plaza Amador for the Clausura tournament.[8] He was a regular starter, scoring twice as the club reached the play-off semifinals.

Patriotas

On 4 January 2022, Orelien signed for Categoría Primera A side Patriotas Boyacá.[9] He featured in the first five matches of the season before leaving on 11 February, after having discrepancies with the club.[10]

Plaza Amador return

On 14 February 2022, Orelien returned to Plaza Amador for the remainder of the season.[11] He was the club's third top scorer with seven goals, behind Ricardo Clarke and Ricardo Buitrago, as they reached the Clausura play-off semifinals.

Hermanos Colmenarez

On 17 January 2023, Orelien and compatriot Alexander González moved to Venezuelan Primera División side Hermanos Colmenarez.[12] After just six matches, he left the club on 31 March, after having alleged unpaid wages.[13]

Dunkerque

On 29 May 2023, Orelien agreed to a contract with his first club San Miguelito,[14] but was announced at French Ligue 2 side Dunkerque on 14 July, on a two-year contract.[15]

Sreenidi Deccan

In August 2024, Orelien signed with I-League club Sreenidi Deccan.[16]

International career

After representing Panama at under-17 level in the 2017 CONCACAF U-17 Championship and at under-20 level in the 2017 Central American Games, Orelien made his full international debut on 11 September 2018, coming on as a second-half substitute for Gabriel Torres in a 2–0 friendly loss to Venezuela in his hometown.[17] He subsequently returned to the under-20s for the 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship and the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Orelien also played with the under-23s in the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Maurice Revello Tournament, being named in the Best XI of the 2023 edition.[18]
