Philadelphia Union Academy rosters released
After losing a baker’s dozen of players to graduation, the Philadelphia Union Academy U19 team will have a new look when they open Development Academy play against NYCFC on September 1.
But it will also be a very familiar one with only a couple new faces filling out the roster.
South Jersey midfielders Brenden Aaronson and Michael Pellegrino lead the group of returners to the U19 team, which includes Michigan defender Benjamin Ofeimu, winger Tonny Temple and South Jersey goalkeeper Tomas Romero. Romero will split time with Kris Shakes and returning third string goalkeeper Brady McSwain.
