Union Academy defender back with United States U15 team

Philadelphia Union Academy outside back Brandan Craig is back in California this week with the United States U15 team for a camp in Chula Vista.

The right back from Philadelphia is the lone representative out of 36 players — all born in 2004 — at the camp.

The team, led by head coach Dave van den Bergh, has matches scheduled against mixed birth year players from FC Golden State and Liga MX side Club Tijuana. The camp runs through Sunday.

Craig was with the team for their first camp of 2018 back in January in Sunrise, Florida along with left back Ryan Lau.
