2020 Vision | Andre Reynolds II is ready to return to the city that raised him

It’s the easiest answer of the interview.

“My top moment would have to be my debut.”

18-year-old Andre Reynolds II, the Homegrown defender from Chicago proper, flashes a smile.

“It was pretty big for me and my family. It was something that I’ve been looking forward to pretty much my whole life, to be able to step on the field. The environment was great. Tons of fans, packed stadium, tough opponent. It was a dream come true. It was everything I could have hoped for and more.”

Signed out of the Chicago Fire Academy in January, Reynolds took the field for the first time as a professional on July 23 when the Chicago Fire hosted Cruz Azul in the inaugural match of the 2019 Leagues Cup.
