Another Reading United AC standout from the 2016 Premier Development League season has signed a professional contract, as defender Charlie Reymann completed a deal with the United Soccer League's Bethlehem Steel FC on Thursday.

“Charlie was quietly one of the assist leaders in Division-I soccer last year and that’s an impressive statistic for a left back,” Steel FC Head Coach Brendan Burke said in a release. “I first got to see Charlie play last summer when he was with Reading United, and when he didn’t get selected by anyone, we immediately called him and invited him to our preseason. Charlie is a steady influence and is determined to add to our level of training every session, every day.”

Reymann scored one goal and provided two assists in 12 games (1,047 minutes) during the 2016 PDL regular season, helping the franchise clinch a Mid Atlantic Division title.

Collegiately, the defender played four seasons at the University of Kentucky. He recorded 21 assists in 80 career games as a left back.

Reymann joins numerous 2016 PDL alums to have signed a professional contract this year, including Reading United teammate Rayane Boukemia, who signed for the Rochester Rhinos on Feb. 14. 

“I’m really excited that Bethlehem Steel FC have given me this opportunity to realize my dream of becoming a professional soccer player and I can’t wait to hit the field and reassure the club they’ve given the right guy this opportunity,” Reymann said. “Being a trialist is a unique experience because your confidence can fluctuate and you don’t know if you are making an impact on the coaching staff. It’s an honor that the team has given me this contract.”
