Piero Elias is ready to bring some of his New York City style to the Sporting JAX front. After attending and playing for Forest Hills High School in Queens, N.Y., Elias transitioned into becoming a member of the NYCFC academy system instead of stepping into a collegiate career. This proved to be the right choice seeing as after two seasons with NYCFC II, Elias made his debut with the first team in July 2024.

While playing for NYCFC II, he played over 5,600 minutes, tallied 11 goals, 11 assists, and started 63 of 77 games. With another young talent added to the roster, Sporting JAX is cementing a strong group for their inaugural season.
