The Real Monarchs club, Real Salt Lake reserve, offered his first minutes of play to a … 13-year-old player, which made him the youngest professional sportsman in the history of American sports.
Alex Kei is only 13 years old but is phenomenally precocious: during the USL (American D2) match between Real Monarchs and Colorado Switchbacks, he entered the game in the 61st minute and thus became the most young professional in the history of American team sport.
