This past season filled Philadelphia Union supporters with optimism surrounding the future. Yet an announcement, shortly after the campaign concluded, also gave fans of the club a reason to look back.

The New Hampshire-born forward who now calls the Denver area home retires among the most influential offensive threats the Union have fielded over their seven-season MLS run.
