Yehu Orland was born in 1981 in Israel

Yehu Orland was born in Israel on September 14, 1981. He began playing in the youth team of Hapoel Galil Elyon and won the State Cup with it. He played for Israel's cadet and junior national teams but never for the senior team.

He joined the Hapoel Galil Elyon senior team in 1999, then moved to Maccabi Ra'anana in 2001 and later to Ironi Ramat Gan. From 2003 he played 3 seasons for Elitzur Ashkelon, serving as captain. He then played for Hapoel Gilboa/Afula, Hapoel Jerusalem, Hapoel Holon, Maccabi Rishon LeZion, Barak Netanya and Maccabi Ashdod.

He was known as a shooter, mainly from three-point range. During his time in Netanya, he was one of the few players who refused to join an Israeli players' strike. He announced his retirement on June 30, 2016.

Before the 2017/18 season he became professional director of Hapoel Emek Hefer and coached its youth teams, later co-coaching its senior team. In July 2021 he became head coach of Hapoel Hevel Modiin, which reached the playoffs for the first time, and was let go during his second season. He coached Maccabi Ra'anana from March 2023 and Bnei Herzliya from June 2024.

He holds a bachelor's degree in management from the Open University. He is married to Alona, daughter of former player Barry Leibowitz, and they have a son and a daughter.
