Bethlehem Steel FC had an immediate splash for the start of 2018 with the announcements of three signings this week. The week kicked off with the signing of 2016 USL Rookie of the Year Brandon Allen. While that move made supporters wish the season was starting, the club announced a day later the signing of the No. 5 selection of the 2016 MLS SuperDraft in Omar Holness.
