2018 marked a progression in the long term plans of Head Coach Peter Vermes and the way he wants Sporting Kansas City to put a team on the field. For the last couple of years he’s stated over and over that he envisions a day when he puts out a starting 11 that is comprised entirely of Sporting KC Homegrown signings.
Last year was a huge step forward in that plan. Four SKC Homegrown players took the field at one time or another in 2018: Daniel Salloi, Jaylin Lindsey, Wan Kuzain and Gianluca Busio.
