A Philadelphia Union Academy grad who elected to pursue a professional career overseas instead of going the college soccer route has signed his first pro contract with a team in the Faroe Islands.
Darius Lewis, a Florida native who spent three seasons in the Philadelphia Union Academy, announced his signing with KÍ Klaksvík on Instagram on Monday.
Lewis had 21 goals over his three seasons playing for the Union at the U17 and U19 age groups after joining the academy from FC Florida in 2015. The Port St. Lucie, Florida native graduated from YSC Academy in 2018.
