TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing

Philadelphia Union have signed left back Isaiah LeFlore through the 2024 MLS season with options for 2025-27, the club announced Tuesday.

LeFlore, 21, arrives in Philadelphia from MLS NEXT Pro side Houston Dynamo 2, where the defender tallied six goals and six assists in 36 appearances.

ā€œThrough his recent play in USL and MLS NEXT Pro, Isaiah is a promising young prospect with the potential to fit well in our system,ā€ Philadelphia sporting director Ernst Tanner said in a release.

ā€œHe’s an offensive-minded left back who is ready to test himself at the next level, and we look forward to contributing to his development.ā€

Before signing with Houston, LeFlore played in Portugal for SC Braga’s reserve team. He’s also featured for Sporting Kansas City II from 2020-22 and Portuguese side AD Oeiras from 2016-19.

In Philadelphia, LeFlore gives head coach Jim Curtin another left-back option alongside homegrown Matthew Real. Kai Wagner could return, but is out of contract and eligible for free agency.
