Birmingham Legion FC signed midfielder Finn Calloway to a USL Academy contract on January 26, 2024.
The USL Academy contracts allow players to retain NCAA eligibility while also being eligible to play in the USL Championship and Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup for the club’s First Team. The structure of this contract opens a pathway to gaining valuable experience training with professionals.
“We’re excited to sign Finn to a USL Academy contract which will prepare him to take the next step in his career, whether that be professionally or collegiately,” said President and General Manager Jay Heaps. “Finn has excellent potential and has acclimated well to training with the first team.”
The Birmingham native is the fourth local player to sign a USL Academy contract with the Legion. Calloway, 17, played for Mountain Brook High School his freshman and sophomore year, won the state championship in 2022, and was selected First Team All-Metro. Calloway also played for Alabama FC ECNL for 4 years and has been selected First Team All-Southeast Conference (2022) and ECNL National selection game at an ECNL showcase (2022).
“I’m honored to be joining the guys this preseason,” said Calloway. “I’m excited for the opportunity to possibly play this weekend and I’m ready to do what’s necessary to help the team win.”
The Calloway signing is a continuation of Legion FC’s investment in the development of young players in Alabama.
