There will be no riot when Ray Gaddis scores. At least not in an MLS game.
The veteran 31-year-old Philadelphia Union right back announced his retirement on Thursday after nine seasons with the club that drafted him out of West Virginia University in 2012.
He ends his career having lifted the Supporters’ Shield trophy in November and is the all-time club leader in appearances, starts and minutes played.
“I first and foremost want to thank God for allowing me to have the career I’ve had,” Gaddis said. “I’m truly blessed to have played professionally for nine seasons and for the experiences, friendships and unique moments that have come with it.
