Fresh from winning the league's 2019 Young Player of the Year award, Parano began the subsequent season with a goal on matchday one against rivals Rio Grande Valley FC Toros.[4][15][16] He ended the campaign with four goals in fifteen matches as they reached the play-offs; losing out to New Mexico United in the opening round.[4]
