Jack de Vries won’t be returning from Italy, after all.
The Philadelphia Union and Venezia FC officially announced the transfer of the 20-year-old homegrown after he impressed with the Italian club’s U19 team on loan. He was the team’s top scorer in 2021-2022 with 14 goals in 22 appearances in the Primavera 2 and also made his first team debut with a 14-minute appearance in a Coppa Italia match in December.
“Jack is a young, talented player and his hard work and competitive mentality have allowed him to adapt well to Venezia’s style of play while on loan,” Philadelphia Union Sporting Director Ernst Tanner stated in a news release.
