Cole Turner became the 12th Philadelphia Union homegrown to make his MLS debut when he stepped on the pitch at Red Bull Arena on Sunday night.
The 19-year-old 2019 YSC Academy graduate from Churchville, Md. spelled captain Alejandro Bedoya in the 87th minute with the score 4-1 to the Union.
A former Baltimore Celtic youth player, Turner joined the Union Academy in 2014. He signed a USL contract last summer, opting to turn pro instead of heading to the Naval Academy.
His debut at Red Bull Arena was also his first live game action since last fall with the Bethlehem Steel in USL Championship.
