CHESTER, Pa. — Free agent NFL running back Jay Ajayi was announced as the Philadelphia Union’s new eMLS competitor Tuesday.

Ajayi, who won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018, will begin representing the Union Friday at the eMLS League One Series event in Philadelphia.

“My manager brought the opportunity to me and then I looked into it,” Ajayi told Pro Soccer USA. “I took some time to think about it and made a decision. I like the game of football (soccer) and video games (FIFA) so it’s just a good match and a cool opportunity for me.
