Bethlehem Steel FC feel a bit different this year. They’re coming off a very successful 2017 campaign that saw the club make the playoffs in USL play. They also had success in developing kids like Matt Real, Anthony Fontana, and, to a lesser extent, Cory Burke and Mark McKenzie, who have all been rewarded with first-team deals. They were also a bit more aggressive on the transfer market, notably snagging “The Two Brandons” in Brandon Aubrey and Brandon Allen, Real Salt Lake’s Omar Holness and Cameroonian full back Olivier Mbaizo.
