Philadelphia Union 2 left back Anthony “Anton” Sorenson is signing a first team homegrown deal with the Philadelphia Union, according to Ives Galarcep.
A U.S. youth international, the 18-year-old Sorenson joined the Union Academy in August 2019 and was one of the standouts for Union 2 in their last season in the USL Championship in 2020 when he had a goal and an assist in 12 appearances.
He’s part of the 2022 graduating class at YSC Academy.

While news about the Philadelphia Union has been slow and eerily quiet, news and information related to the second team has been all but non-existent since the team played a series of postseason friendlies in the fall.
Just three signed players are currently on the Union II roster after offseason roster moves were announced: Shanyder Borgelin, Selmir Miscic and Ben Ofeimu. USL rosters were required to have a minimum of 12 players under professional contracts not counting first team players on loan.
