Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Holden Trent passed away on Saturday at the age of 25 after being admitted to intensive care earlier in the week, his family and the Major League Soccer club announced.
“We are deeply saddened to share that Holden Trent has passed away at 25 years old. May he rest in peace,” read a statement from the Union.
“While he was a talented player and fierce competitor, he was above all a devoted son, brother, fiancé, and teammate who brought out the best in those around him.”
No cause of death was provided by the team or his family.
Trent had served as a backup goalkeeper eight times for the Union this season and played six matches for the Union’s top developmental team.
“Out of respect for Holden’s friends and family, no further statements will be made at this time, and we ask that their privacy is respected as they grieve,” the Union added.
MLS Commissioner Don Garber described Trent as “a young goalkeeper with a bright future.”
