Orange County Soccer Club have signed on 14-year-old Francis Jacobs, making him the youngest professional male signing in U.S. football history, the California club said on Tuesday.

Jacobs, who is 14 years, four months and 29 days old, signed a deal with the second-tier United Soccer League club.Rooney arrested in December in U.S. for public intoxication “I am very excited for Francis, who is a young and gifted local talent, to join our team,” said head coach Braeden Cloutier. “I’ve been really impressed with his poise and ability on the ball that he’s shown us these past few months.”His signing eclipses that of Freddy Adu, who was 14 years, five months and 16 days when he joined DC United in 2003.

Adu won a major contract from Nike but bounced around a slew of clubs and never quite made an impact that his early promise indicated.
