Five weeks after locking down Jakob Glesnes with a three-year contract extension, the Philadelphia Union have also signed his center back partner to a new deal, announcing on Tuesday a three-year deal with a club option for Jack Elliott.
“Over his five seasons with the Union, Jack has developed and proven himself to be one of the best defenders in Major League Soccer,” Union Sporting Director Ernst Tanner stated in a news release. “His combination of size and skill has been a key component to the team’s continued growth and success, consistently leading the Union to be one of the top teams with the fewest goals allowed in the league.
