Our Humans of NYCFC series returns with the Club’s first Homegrown Player, James Sands.
Here’s the 16-year old on signing his first pro deal with NYCFC…
This is a big dream come true for me. Ever since I was little, playing in my backyard until now, I’ve been looking forward to becoming a pro but especially, when you consider what a great club this is, and how, in just a few short years, how much it has grown, to be the first Homegrown is special for me.
It’s a huge accomplishment for me, but I think it also is a credit to the players and coaches that I’ve worked with.
