After a career that has taken him all around Major League Soccer, Chris Albright is coming home. The veteran defender from Penn Charter and FC Delco has signed with the Union, the team announced yesterday.
Though Carli Lloyd's face may not be plastered all over the television, her play has had a huge impact on the women's national team, which qualified for the London Olympics at the end of January.
It took serious bargaining, some schmoozing and a few cups of Colombian coffee, but the Union finally landed its man. The club announced the signing of forward Lionard Pajoy yesterday.
The biggest question facing the Union as they prepare for their third season will be how to replace leading scorer Sébastien Le Toux. At least there won't be a shortage of candidates.
I've been sent an advance copy of the Union's local TV schedule for this season. It will be officially released later this week, but I was given permission to post it early.
