Troy McKee '24 Recruiting Profile

I started playing soccer at eight years old. I joined De Anza Force and played there for 2 years. Due to my family's situation, I spent the next 7 years overseas.  At age 10, I was signed with the Aston Villa Academy in the UK, and later we moved to Portugal.  In Portugal, I played with  SL Benfica Academy and other clubs. Before we moved back to States, I played with GS Loures in the U17 National League(The highest league for U17).

For the 22/23 season, I moved back to the States with the goal of playing college soccer while pursuing higher education. I currently play in Sacramento United U19 team in MLS Next and am N. 36.

I'm a quick and intelligent midfielder that enjoys keeping possession while still looking to make impactful forward plays. I'm always looking to improve my game and am always grateful for any feedback.

I have lived in 3 different countries and went to school/played soccer with people from various cultural and economic backgrounds. I consider myself mature for my age. 

I also work 15-20 hours a week at a fast pace, high-energy cafe.  Working while maintaining a busy study and training schedule is not easy but very important. In addition to helping me financially, I gain valuable experience in social, organizational, and time management skills. Those are invaluable experiences to help me succeed in the future.
