Sporting Kansas City added another player to their roster today, signing another homegrown player, Matthew Lewis. The Kansas City native captained Sporting’s U18 academy team in the 2013-2014 season before moving on to Fordham University. At Fordham, Lewis was a four year starter, setting school records for starts and appearances.
This past season, Lewis helped lead the Rams to the College Cup quarterfinals before losing out to teammate Zach Wright and the University of North Carolina 2-1. Lewis helped Fordham to record 11 shutouts and earned the Atlantic 10’s Defensive Player of the Year this year.
