Nashville Soccer Club has signed attacking forward Tyler Freeman to a four-year contract, via free agency.

Freeman is coming off a career-year where he scored eight goals in 24 appearances for Loudoun United FC of the USL Championship last season and played a 45-minute stint with Major League Soccer club D.C. United.

Loudoun, an affiliate team of D.C. United, sent Freeman to the country’s capital as Black-and-Red took on Flower City Union in the Third Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on April 19.

The 19-year-old is a product of the Sporting Kansas City Youth Academy. Playing since age 11, he became the second youngest player in Sporting Kansas City history to sign an MLS contract at the age of 15. Freeman made 35 appearances for Sporting Kansas City II during his time with the club.

At the international youth level, Freeman has represented the United States with their U-14, U-16 and U-17 national teams. He was instrumental in helping the U.S. to a second-place finish in the 2019 Concacaf U-17 Championship.

Nashville SC kicks off their season on Feb. 25 as they host NYCFC at GEODIS Park.
