One of the top scorers in the Development Academy is back with the United States U19 team for a tournament in Slovakia.
Jeremy Rafanello scored the game-winning goal against PA Classics on Saturday before rejoining the U.S. team to prepare for the Slovakia Cup. Rafanello, who joined the Union from Continental FC last summer, leads the team with 22 goals in 20 games, which is sixth in the league. He’s committed to join former Union U19 head coach Jeff Cook at Penn State this fall.
U.S. U19 head coach Dave van den Bergh called in 20 players for the tournament, including former Philadelphia Union Academy defender Rayshaun McGann, who is a member of the Atlanta United U19 team.
