There are many things that fans can reasonably gripe about when it comes to New York City FC. Their academy, and the success it is having, shouldn’t be one of them. As NYCFC enters its fifth season in MLS, it does so already having three Homegrown Players on the roster — one signed each of the last three seasons. While Justin Haak received a lot of buzz before actually signing his own Homegrown Player contract, and Joe Scally remains hidden in plain sight, it is James Sands who still remains the number one name when discussing City’s Academy products.
