A right back and central midfielder, Halsey started in all 31 games he's appeared in for Virginia, as he leaves the ACC program after playing three seasons of college soccer. He was a key part of the team's run to the 2019 national championship game as the team's starting right back.

Congrats to Bret Halsey who inked a @MLS Generation adidas contract today and is eligible for the 2021 MLS SuperDraft! #GoHoos
