Four months after turning pro, McGlynn brothers ready to play against each other for the first time

After signing their first professional contracts in the same week in early March, brothers Jack McGlynn and Conor McGlynn will finally get a chance to face off when the Philadelphia Union II visit the Hartford Athletic tonight in Connecticut.

Jack McGlynn signed a pro contract with the Union II on March 6 and six days later his older brother Conor McGlynn signed with Hartford Athletic. Then Covid-19 shut down soccer for four months.

“It was actually really crazy because he came through an open trial and made it, which is great for him and it was just a surreal moment for our whole family,” Jack McGlynn said in a recent interview.
