Union trade fullback Harvey to Vancouver
A day before its departure to San Jose, the Union announced the trade of native Californian defender Jordan Harvey.
Harvey, 26, a Union original acquired in the 2009 Major League Soccer expansion draft, was traded to Vancouver, currently last place in the Western Conference, in exchange for allocation money. In his two seasons with Philadelphia, Harvey started all but one match, playing in 45 games -- a total of 3,861 minutes.
A message left by the Daily News to Harvey was not returned at the time of this report.
Harvey will now join fellow ex-Union midfielder Shea Salinas, left unprotected in this year's expansion draft. Additionally, he will be under the guidance of newly minted Vancouver coach Tom Soehn. Soehn was the assistant for Union boss Peter Nowak when he was the coach at D.C. United from 2004-07.
Nowak didn't return a message from the Daily News, but a Union spokesperson said he will address the trade following Saturday's match against San Jose and subsequently at his weekly press conference at PPL Park next Wednesday.
