The New England Revolution signed 15-year-old Peyton Miller to a four-year MLS contract on Monday.
The defender/midfielder from Unionville, Conn., is the youngest player ever to sign with the club.
At 15 years and 216 days, Miller is younger than Diego Fagundez (15-274) when he signed in 2015.
“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity,” Miller said in a news release. “… Taking this next step in my development is a dream come true and I appreciate my family and all of the coaches for the guidance and support that helped make this possible.”
Miller, a product of the Revolution Academy, will join the MLS NEXT Pro roster for the rest of the 2023 season.
He will ascend to the MLS roster in 2024 as a homegrown player. His four-year deal includes a one-year club option.
