The Philadelphia Union signed midfielder Danley Jean Jacques through the 2026 season on Thursday.
The deal includes options for 2027 and 2028 for the 24-year-old Haitian international.
The Union acquired his rights from the Portland Timbers for $100,000 in 2024 general allocation money.
“We are excited to welcome Danley to the Philadelphia Union. He is a versatile player in the midfield and has proven himself in a top league,” sporting director Ernst Tanner said. “He is a quick, physical player who fits our style of play and has the ability to make an immediate impact.”
Jean Jacques, 24, arrives from France’s FC Metz, where he had appeared in 66 matches since 2022.
