Sporting Kansas City II has signed Academy product Jake Davis, the club announced today. The 18-year-old midfielder will join the Sporting II roster ahead of the USL Championship season resumption in mid-July.
Davis got his first taste of professional action in 2019 when he was signed to an Academy contract with Sporting II, giving him the ability to play in USL Championship games without foregoing his NCAA eligibility. He made five appearances for Sporting II during the 2019 campaign, recording two assists and drawing a penalty for his side.
Davis is originally from Michigan but moved to Kansas City to join the Sporting KC Academy in 2017 and lives with a host family through the club’s residency program.
