As the club prepares for the start of a new era, it only feels right that Sky writes his own chapter into club history."

Born into a baseball-loving family, Sky fell in love with the beautiful game when NYCFC kicked off its inaugural season in 2015. From the first game to the ecstasy of the 2021 MLS Cup victory, Sky has experienced it all. For years, Sky and their fellow pigeons have shown up wherever our fans are on matchdays, in the city, and in the culture around this club,"
