FC Utrecht seems to be equally excited for Booth to join. Of the impending move, technical director, Jordy Zuidam had this to say, “Taylor is a huge talent who currently plays for Bayern Munich and has now also been invited to the American national team. With him we bring in a dynamic midfielder with a lot of footballing ability. He’s a box-to-box player that plays with a lot of energy which means he will fit well into our system. We are proud that we were able to convince him to choose us.”
Booth, a native of Ogden, Utah, joined Bayern’s Academy with the U19s in 2019 from the Real Salt Lake Academy. By 2020 he was training with Bayern II and made a few appearances before being loaned out to the Austrian Bundesliga side SKN St Pölten in January 2021.
