Whenever rumors start flying about the potential for Union goalkeeper Andre Blake to be sold to a European team, questions inevitably follow about who else is in the team’s pipeline.
A player who joined that list this summer hasn’t even graduated high school yet.
Cherry Hill native Tomas Romero has shot up the ranks of Union prospects at just 16 years old. Though it might be a while before he reaches MLS, he has already seen action for the Union’s minor-league USL team, Bethlehem Steel, and trains regularly with the senior squad.
“He’s a guy that is in the discussion to take that next step with our club,” Union manager Jim Curtin said.
