The Union still haven’t made any substantial additions to their roster this offseason. They still haven’t released the 2018 jersey that many fans want to buy, despite teasing it with videos on social media revealing the shirt to players and team staff.
But they have answered another big question: What’s the future of goalkeeper Andre Blake?
The Union announced Wednesday that the Jamaica native has agreed to a new multi-year contract with the Union, tying his fate to Philadelphia for some time to come.
“It is a priority for us to build and secure the foundation of the Philadelphia Union, and Andre is as big a part of that foundation as any player,” Union sporting director Earnie Stewart said in a statement.
