22-year-old defender Michael Agboola joins the club and makes the jump from England to the USA.
An English national with Nigerian descent, Agboola — a center back — started his career in his home country with Dagenham & Redbridge’s U18 squad.
From there he would make a move that he has become most synonymous for in his career, joining the U18 squad of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
With Wolves, whose first team participates in the English Premier League, Agboola continued to develop and eventually graduated to the U21 squad in the Premier League 2, a league full of academy squads in the English game. Agboola even netted a goal in the league.
Head Coach Darren Powell
“We are excited to announce Michael joining us in Lexington — Michael is a versatile player who can play both as a CB and DCM depending on the formation we choose to play. He is strong on the ball and has good ability to switch the play or break 1,2, or 3 lines while in possession of ball with his passing. Defensively, he is strong in the air and in his tackles. He will look to compete immediately and put together a consistent body of work for our team. We look forward to his arrival!”
