Goalkeeping brothers from West Chester a rarity in pro soccer

American soccer has had its fair share of brothers over the years — names like the Allens, the Najems, the Farfans and the Curtins to name a few — but ask around about brothers who have both played goalkeeper at the professional level and it’s a little harder to come up with names.

That is until this season in the USL Championship when Kyle Morton and Todd Morton join the ranks of brothers to play professional soccer in the U.S. The elder Morton, Pittsburgh Riverhounds goalkeeper Kyle Morton is being joined this season in the professional ranks by his brother Todd Morton, who was recently signed by the Real Monarchs after finishing his college soccer career at the University of Delaware.
