U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team defender Bryan Reynolds is making a big move to Europe, joining storied Italian club AS Roma in Serie A. The 19-year-old right back turned heads for FC Dallas this season in Major League Soccer. Now, he’s the latest USMNT prospect on his way overseas after a wave of January transfers. After completing his first full season as a first-division professional, Reynolds will hope to take the next step with his career in Rome.
The up-and-coming defender leapt onto the scene this fall in MLS following the transfer of USMNT right back Reggie Cannon from FC Dallas to Boavista in Portugal, opening up a spot in the Starting XI. The young defender took his opportunity and ran with it, making 19 appearances for Dallas down the stretch while helping the club reach the Western Conference Semifinals in the MLS Cup Playoffs. This season was Reynold’s first seeing regular minutes in MLS after playing with North Texas SC in USL League One for the 2019 season.
The Texas native was called to January’s U-23 USMNT training camp in Bradenton, Fla. and could be a part of the USA’s team at the Concacaf Men’s Olympic Qualifying Championship
