West Chester native and former Philadelphia Union Academy goalkeeper Kyle Morton is on trial with USL club Tampa Bay Rowdies.
Morton, who capped his college career at James Madison with a third-team all Colonial Athletic Association selection, started for the Rowdies in the first game of the Florida Cup against German club VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday. He conceded a pair of goals in the 2-0 loss before being subbed out at halftime for former Valparaiso goalkeeper Nico Campbell.
Morton was part of the Union Academy “club and country” setup in 2012-13, a year prior to the Union joining the U.
