According to sources within the club, Sporting Kansas City have extended an academy contract to 3-year-old Luca Feilhaber. Fans will know his father, Benny Feilhaber, as the team’s star midfielder during their 2013 MLS Cup run and his follow up campaigns as a string pulling #10. Benny is currently the coach of Sporting Kansas City II.
Luca has starred at various Sporting Stripes camps and impressed SKC Head Coach and Sporting Director, Peter Vermes, with his ability to simultaneously dribble without crying, setting him apart from his peers.
His father, Benny, was interviewed about the signing during a training session with Sporting KC II.
