The Southampton, Pennsylvania native is coming back to the Philadelphia Union organization that drafted him in 2011.
Bethlehem Steel FC added another piece to their back line by adding former Philadelphia Union first round draft pick and La Salle University product Ryan Richter. The Southampton, Pennsylvania native was picked by the Union fifth overall in the 2011 MLS Supplemental Draft and made his Union debut against Everton in a friendly. He didn't make any league appearances for the first team, instead getting playing time with both the Harrisburg City Islanders and the Union Reserves team.
