The Philadelphia Union signed 17-year-old homegrown defender Neil Pierre to a four-year contract Tuesday.
The deal includes an option for 2029 for the native of Lebanon, Pa.
“Following a standout season with Union II, we are happy to be able to reward Neil with a first team contract,” sporting director Ernst Tanner said. “His combination of size, speed, and defensive strength makes him a great asset to our backline. As a young, dynamic center back with immense potential, we look forward to continuing and supporting his development.”
Pierre spent the past two seasons with the MLS NEXT Pro affiliate Union II. Internationally, he has represented the U.S. at the U15 through U19 levels.
