FYI: There's officially a 14-year-old on an MLS roster.
Meet Cavan Sullivan ↓
Philadelphia signed Sullivan to the largest 'homegrown' contract in league history yesterday, though money specifics weren't disclosed.
- This isn't a minor-league situation: It's a first-team contract
- He's considered one of the top prospects in the world
If he debuts by July 29, he'll become the youngest North American pro athlete, breaking Freddy Adu's record.
He also has a clause in his contract that allows him to transfer to Manchester City as soon as he turns 18.
