Goalkeeper Austin Causey has spent most of his playing career on the east coast after being born and raised in South Easton, Massachusetts. He began turning heads as a keeper for Richmond United in Virginia, where he played with the U14 and U16 teams. During the 2015-16 season, he posted a 61.6 save percentage.
In 2016, Causey returned to Massachusetts to play for New England Revolution Academy, where he remained for four seasons.
In April of 2021, at just 19, Causey began his professional career on a contract with the Richmond Kickers. In his first season as a USL League One player, he started 23 games, including a playoff quarterfinal match.
Making the jump to Lexington SC, Causey started multiple games for the Boys in Green and remained a strong goalkeeper for the club. Becoming one of the best reserve keepers in the league, Causey saw his name featured in the USL League One Team of the Week while also earning Moment of the Match honors from LSC.
“It feels great to be coming back to Lexington and to build on what we started last season,” Causey said. “I’m excited to work with Coach Darren and his staff as well as be a part of what’s new to come for LSC.”
Sporting Director Sam Stockley
“Austin is a promising young keeper who already has multiple years of experience at the professional level. He’s very good in one-v-one situations, is quick off his line and reads the game well. He’s proactive with both feet and can break lines with excellent distribution from both hands and feet.”
