This past Sunday, Philadelphia Union’s USL affiliate Bethlehem Steel FC opened their 2018 season with a 4-1 win over the Richmond Kickers at Goodman Stadium. The match featured seven First Team players in the Starting XI for Bethlehem, including Homegrown product Derrick Jones.
Jones has played a significant role in the club’s vision. The midfielder was signed as a Homegrown Player on July 27, 2016 and was the first player to complete the “Path to the Pros” by competing in a match for the Union Academy, Bethlehem Steel and the Union First Team. This past weekend, Jones put his talent on full display.
