In the summer of 2014, he joined the San Jose Earthquakes' U23 Premier Development League squad, helping lead his side to a 7–4–3 record and a third-place finish in the Western Conference in its inaugural season. His performance that year led him to be one of three finalists for the PDL's Young Player of the Year Award.[2][3]
