Report: Veteran defender Aurelien Collin joining Philadelphia Union

A player Philadelphia Union fans loved to root against when he played for Sporting Kansas City, Orlando City and the New York Red Bulls will reportedly be wearing blue and gold this season.

Aurelien Collin, 32, was linked to the Union in a Twitter post on Monday that was seemingly confirmed by a post on the team website that has since been taken down.

The right-footed Frenchman will likely provide defensive depth with Mark McKenzie and Auston Trusty the favorites going into preseason to pair on a four-man back line (Should Jim Curtin use a back-three, Collin could end up starting).
