Travis Worra grew up in Amish Country in southeastern Pennsylvania before the Philadelphia Union took root. So as a kid, he supported D.C. United. Before heading off to the University of New Hampshire, he visited RFK Stadium to witness between 10 and 15 matches.
“Ten-year-old Travis in braces looking like an idiot,” he said. “I’ve always been a United fan.”
Undrafted out of college, Worra had a successful trial with United at 2015 training camp to earn the No. 3 goalkeeping slot. Most of his rookie campaign was spent in Richmond with the third-division Kickers. His only MLS appearance came as a second-half substitute for the injured Andrew Dykstra in Vancouver almost a year ago.
