Year two of Bethlehem Steel FC officially kicked off on Thursday, with the club’s first practice at YSC Sports.
A mixture of players under contract, Philadelphia Union Academy prospects and a group of trialists were on hand for the two-hour practice in the indoor facility near King of Prussia.
“We’re all more comfortable, more well prepared as you would be in the second year of any project,” head coach Brendan Burke said after training.
Among the trialists were former Union Academy and Xavier defender Todd Pratzner, Temple University defender Matt Mahoney, Clemson defender Alex Happi, Reading United and University of Kentucky defender Charlie Reymann and Wilmington University midfielder Juan Bernal.
