When Stuart Findlay was acquired by the Philadelphia Union last February, several fans from his former club in Scotland were enthusiastically reaching out to say how much fans here would enjoy the left-footed center back.
Through no fault of his own, the Scottish international didn’t see the field a lot in his first season in MLS. While he was brought in to be the left-footed center back starter the team hadn’t had since Auston Trusty, Jack Elliott’s Defender of the Year-worthy season playing next to Jakob Glesnes made it tough for Findlay to get minutes.
Findlay was limited to 8 appearances and 464 minutes during the regular season.
