FEATURE: Cade Cowell - A 15-year-old fighting for minutes

Who is Cade Cowell? The native of Ceres, Calif. may be relatively unknown to Earthquakes fans now, but that could change in the near future.

Joining the team last month, Cowell became the youngest to ever sign a Homegrown Player contract with the Quakes and fourth youngest in Major League Soccer history at just 15 years and 102 days. He broke the record set by Jacob Akanyirige in Dec. 2017, and re-set by Gilbert Fuentes one month after that.

“I still have to get used to being a professional soccer player,” said Cowell in-between training sessions on Tuesday.
