Veteran goalkeeper Joe Bendik will be returning for the 2021 season, the Philadelphia Union announced Friday.
The Union signed the 31-year-old to a one-year deal.
“We are excited to welcome back Joe for the 2021 season,” Union Sporting Director Ernst Tanner said in a news release. “He works extremely hard on the field, and off the field he takes the time to mentor and work with his younger teammates. He has more than eight years of professional experience in this league and his veteran presence has proven helpful not only to our other goalkeepers, but to the team success as a whole.
