Ngabo, 19, will join Philadelphia beginning in the 2024 MLS season with club options for 2026-27. He will occupy an international roster slot.

“Sanders is a young, promising midfielder with a strong potential to do well in our system,” Philadelphia sporting director Ernst Tanner said in a release.
