CHESTER - The Philadelphia Union have shipped defender Sheanon Williamsto and an international spot to the Houston Dynamo in exchange for general allocation money and future considerations.
Williams, 25, was the longest-tenured member of the Union, joining the
team during its 2010 expansion campaign. He arrived on Aug. 31
of that season and started in eight games at just 20 years old.
From then on the now-veteran was almost a permanent fixture in the lineup, starting 92 games from
2011-2013, including both of the club’s playoff games in 2011. In 2015,
he had played in 17 games, starting 15 of them. He is particularly known for his powerful throw-ins which often set up legitimate scoring opportunities for Philadelphia.
“Sheanon has represented the club well during his time here and we wish him the best of luck in Houston,” Union technical director Chris Albright said. “However, this allows us the flexibility to make additional moves both short and long term.”
