The 20-year-old left back will occupy U22 Initiative and international roster slots. He is signed through 2028-29 with an option for 2029-30.
"Philippe is a dynamic defender with the ability to play confidently with both feet, which gives us valuable flexibility in the back line," Union coach Bradley Carnell said. "His aggressive style of defending fits our system well, and we're excited to welcome him to the club."
Welcome to Philly, Philippe!
