Daily News | Inter Miami’s Shanyder Borgelin is a Union academy success story, even though he plays for a rival
manager Jim Curtin looks across the field at Inter Miami’s much-improved squad on Saturday night , he’ll see a familiar face.grew up in the Union’s academy after moving to the Philadelphia area in his mid-teens, but didn’t make the cut to turn pro here. So last year, the south Florida native moved back south to play for his hometown team.
, Borgelin was thrown right into the fray. He was subbed in during the second half of last Saturday’s season opener against CF Montréal, and scored the goal that sealed a 2-0 win. “Not only was I able to play at the highest level, something I’ve always dreamed of, but I was also able to play for my hometown team in front of my family and friends, and the Miami fans,” Borgelin told the Inquirer this week. “So to be able to just get on, that was just a dream come true. And then to see the ball hit the back of the net, I had a lot of feelings going through my head at that moment — I kind of just broke down in tears.
“It’s something that I dreamed of ever since I was a little kid, you know, playing in the backyard,” Borgelin said. “So to be able to have that moment now, it was amazing, man.”“Shanyder’s a kid that [had] come in here and worked his tail off when he was with the Union,” Curtin said. “You saw the amount of goals he scored last year for Miami’s second team … It’s no coincidence now he gets rewarded and scores a big goal in week one in MLS. Couldn’t be a nicer kid, happy for him.
“He took a chance on me when I was 17,” Borgelin said, and stood by the player when he missed a stretch of 2020 due to injury. “He was like, ‘Hey, yeah, obviously it’s not working out, but wherever you go, you have my full support and I wish you the best.’ … I knew wherever I went, they would always have my back, and I would be able to do good.”At the same time that Borgelin earned his move up to to MLS, the Union had an eye on Inter centerback Damion Lowe.
