Noe Uwimana, a 2005-born outside back from Richmond United, is the latest player recruited from outside the area to join the Philadelphia Union Academy.
“Noe is a talented prospect who will be a great addition to an already talented and diverse U17 player pool,” said Jon Scheer, director of talent identification for the Union Academy. “We tracked Noe over the past year at Richmond United and regardless of what age group he was playing in, his talent and potential was always apparent. Noe has many attributes that fit well in our style of play at the Philadelphia Union, however, what impressed us most during the recruitment process was Noe’s character and genuine desire to improve as a student athlete.
