INKED: Behind Cory Burke's tattoo
For many athletes, being away from your family is a part of the job — constant traveling, training and not being able to visit home as often as you'd like. For Philadelphia Union forward Cory Burke, being away from his daughter isn't easy. But to help him get through the distance, he has one thing that reminds himself of her at all times; a tattoo.
Burke, who hails from Kingston, Jamaica, signed a First Team contract on December 21, 2017. So far this season, he's appeared in four matches, registering one assist against New England Revolution on March 3. He's also played alongside Union goalkeeper Andre Blake with the Jamaican National Team, earning 13 caps and scoring twice.
