Tacoma Defiance have signed four new players ahead of the 2021 season, adding over 10,000 professional minutes across a variety of leagues and bringing the roster to 17 players directly signed to the team.
The club announced on Monday that forward Samuel Adeniran, and defenders Tom Brewitt, Randy Mendoza and Issa Rayyan had all been signed. The quartet of signings all probably slot more into the “second chance” category of players that Tacoma has historically signed as opposed to younger, development players all are in their 20s. They bring experience from leagues in the US, England, Spain, and Germany.

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.
