Over 50 players from the United States are already set to lace up their cleats in European soccer this season, the vast majority of them coming originally from Major League Soccer, if not growing up in Europe and developing their skills in those clubs’ elite youth academies. Two more Americans appear headed across the pond to join the contingent, yet they will actually be coming from the second-division USL Championship, a league that sits a tier below Major League Soccer in the U.S. Soccer Pyramid.
On Monday, The Athletic’s Tom Bogert reported that 19-year-old forward Colton Swan and 28-year-old forward JJ Williams are set to move to the Scottish Premier League, with Swan joining Hibernian and Williams making his way to Hearts of Midlothian.
