SSFC Spotlight: Chris Durkin displaying consistency with D.C. United
One of the obvious advantages of entering the professional game at a younger age is the opportunity to gain experience, both on and off the field. Overcoming the trials and tribulations of a sporting career at an earlier stage allows for development during a period of lower expectations and provides more space to grow. At the age of 23, Chris Durkin is beginning his eighth year as a professional, having already tested himself in Europe. The D.C. United midfielder appears to have turned a corner and is emerging as a key player in Major League Soccer.
