Roc Nation Sports International have just announced the signing of their first-ever Major League Soccer baller, Jack McGlynn.
McGlynn currently plays center mid for Philadelphia Union and the United States U20 National Team. After kicking off his career in 2019 as a member of the Philadelphia Union Academy, McGlynn was awarded his first professional contract with Philadelphia Union 2 in the Spring of 2020, before working his way up to the first team and signing a homegrown deal with the Union in August.
McGlynn solidified his role as a major part of the team during the 2021 regular season and capped off a great year by scoring the winning penalty kick over Nashville SC in the MLS playoffs and linking up with the USMNT's U20 side in Argentina.

“It’s a great honour to be the first MLS soccer player to sign with Roc Nation Sports International,” said McGlynn. “The agency has seen great success over the pond, and I trust them to help me navigate the rest of my career, both on and off the pitch.”
The signing follows Roc Nation Sports' expansion into the North American soccer market with the hiring of former USA International and Major League Soccer legend Chris Wingert as Head of International Football, North America.
Roc Nation currently have a strong roster than includes Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne, Chelsea’s Romelu Lukaku, Bayern Munich and USMNT’s Chris Richards, Borussia Dortmund’s Axel Witsel, and Crystal Palace’s Nathan Ferguson – with other announcements planned later this year.
