Aaronson No. 7 on MLS 22 Under 22 List

If you read the tea leaves, you knew something special was happening. The Union signed Brenden Aaronson to a homegrown contract that added him to the roster at the start of 2019, and even though the teenager looked like he hit maturity moments before signing, the club believed he was ready to contribute.

Aaronson played with Bethlehem Steel throughout 2018, and captain James Chambers thought he was “different.” Aaronosn also played with the Union academy, and when he faced off against the Red Bulls’ U19s in Talen Energy Stadium, he controlled the match.

Light, quick — but not speedy — and intelligent.
