In Venezuela

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.

VfL Wolfsburg

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.[citation needed] He never managed to fit a spot in the regular lineup, playing only seven games since his arrival.

Return to homeland

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. Further details of the operation remains unveiled.[3]
