Vancouver Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Sean Melvin has impressed many people since signing an MLS contract with the ‘Caps earlier this year. Having first joined the ‘Caps in 2010 as a Residency player, his hard work and determination over the years have been rewarded with a call-up to the MLS Homegrown Game on Tuesday against Mexican club Tigres' U-20 team as part of All-Star festivities in Atlanta (5:30 p.m. PT, watch LIVE on Twitter).
Having spent so much time in training, working day in and day out, waiting for his opportunity, Melvin has earned a well-deserved reward for his efforts.
