Amidst swirling transfer rumors and news of him no longer training with the Philadelphia Union, Jamiro Monteiro was in Upper Darby on Tuesday night with a wide smile on his face talking and playing with kids from The SWAG program.
The program, which aims to provide free high-level training to kids ages 4-8 in areas of the city where soccer isn’t typically the preferred sport, has been in the spotlight in recent weeks thanks to public comments from Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin, a new partnership announced with the Philadelphia Union Foundation and player visits like the one from Monteiro on Tuesday night.
