Former Philadelphia Union youth Darius Madison has been given a shot to continue his pro career in upstate New York with the Rochester Rhinos.
The Philadelphia native was announced as the latest signing for the USL club on Monday.
Madison was drafted 70th overall by Toronto FC last January but despite a fine showing in preseason with Toronto FC II, he left the club when contract talks stalled and signed his first pro contract with Kitsap Pumas in the Premier Development League, where he had a goal in 10 appearances.
“I’m very excited to get this opportunity with the Rhinos,” Madison said in a news release.
