To play with the first team is a dream for many young aspiring soccer players. For three young Academy stars, the opportunity to train with Philadelphia Union during preseason is an opportunity of a lifetime.
Among the many new faces for the Boys in Blue during preseason, the Union has also welcomed Brenden Aaronson, Michael Pellegrino and Tomas Romero from the Union Academy.
Midfielder Brenden Aaronson is an exciting Union prospect who is considered to be a versatile playmaker. The Medford, Pennsylvania native trained regularly with Bethlehem Steel FC last year.
Aaronson impressed so much that he even started two games and made six appearances for the club during their postseason push.
