Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Holden Trent died Saturday at age 25, the Major League Soccer Club announced.

The club said it would not release further details out of respect for Trent's friends and family.

“The Philadelphia Union is devastated by the heartbreaking death of Holden Trent,” the club said in a statement. “Although he was a wonderful player and fierce competitor, above all he was a devoted son, brother, fiancé and teammate who made those around him better.”

“He embodied the true meaning of determination, dedication and perseverance and we will miss him deeply. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, his fiancée and his friends.”

In its own statement, MLS said he contributed to Philadelphia's tight-knit goalkeeping unit.

“We extend our deepest condolences to his fiancée, his family and friends, his teammates and the entire Philadelphia Union community. MLS is coordinating with the club to provide players and family members with the resources and support they need during this tragic time.”

A native of Greensboro, North Carolina, Trent was selected 28th overall by the Union in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft out of High Point University.

While he had yet to make his first-team debut, Trent recorded six appearances for the Union's second team in the MLS Next Pro.
