The Carolina RailHawks have added to their roster with the signing of Capital Area RailHawks Academy U-18 team captain, Jeremy Kelly, to an amateur contract. Kelly will be available for selection for the 2016 Spring Season.
“Jeremy is a player from our academy that we have been following for some time. One of our main goals as an organization is to grow and develop young talent and Jeremy is a product of this youth organization system and we are thrilled he has accepted this opportunity,” said RailHawks Head Coach, Colin Clarke. Still at a young age, Jeremy will now have the opportunity to train and play with our senior squad.”
The Chapel Hill, N.C. resident is a product of the Capital Area RailHawks U-18 Academy Team and plays as a midfielder.
Kelly began his soccer career in France, where he lived until he was 11. Upon coming to the United States, Kelly joined the Triangle United Soccer Association, where he played until the start of the 2012-2013 season.
Kelly later joined the RailHawks Academy as a member of the U-15/16 team and was also a member of the 2014-2015 USSDA Southeastern Conference champion team. Kelly started all 20 games of the 2015-2016 season with the U-18 team and scored four goals.
The Capital Area RailHawks Academy is a collaboration between the Capital Area Soccer League and the RailHawks for U.S. Soccer Development Academy teams in the U-13/14, U-15/16 and U-17/18 age groups and is designed to attract the highest caliber players and coaches possible, regardless of their previous club affiliations.
Academy players are eligible to train and play with professional soccer players prior to their enrollment in college and keep their NCAA eligibility. Kelly has committed to join his hometown university UNC-Chapel Hill Men’s Soccer program next fall. With the inclusion of Kelly, both Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer News have ranked Carolina’s signing class as No. 1 in the country.
The RailHawks roster is now comprised of 20 players: two goalkeepers (Akira Fitzgerald and Brian Sylvestre), seven defenders (Drew Beckie, Paul Black, Kupono Low, Simon Mensing, Steven Miller, Kareem Moses and Connor Tobin), eight midfielders (Nazmi Albadawi, Marvin Ceballos, Austin da Luz, James Marcelin, Alex Pérez, Tiyi Shipalane, Matt Watson, and Jeremy Kelly) and three forwards (Aly Alberto Hassan, Billy Schuler and Brian Shriver).
