Since signing with the club on January 23, 2019, Cade Cowell has quickly emerged as one of the brightest young talents on the San Jose Earthquakes roster. At the age of 16, Cowell has assumed the role of a developing player that is not far from receiving first-team minutes. He consistently practices with the first team, plays in important matches with the club’s U-17 and U-19 Quakes Academy teams, and travels up north to play with the club’s USL Championship affiliate, Reno 1868 FC.
Cowell has continued to make big jumps in his journey to first-team action, but this past Saturday may have been his biggest thus far.
