TULSA, Okla. – FC Tulsa announced on Monday it had acquired defender Adam Armour on loan from Major League Soccer for the remainder of the 2023 USL Championship season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

A former United States youth international, Armour etched his name into Charlotte FC history last season when he recorded the club’s first goal in Major League Soccer. The North Carolina native totaled six appearances for Charlotte FC in 2022 before undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery that curtailed a promising top-flight season for the 20-year-old fullback.

“We are excited to bring another talented player like Adam into the group,” said FC Tulsa Head Coach Blair Gavin. “He will provide us with the ability to win 1v1 moments on both sides of the ball.”

In addition to his time in MLS, Armour was a standout for the United States U17 National Team from 2018-2019. The fullback capped 19 times for the States between U17 World Cup Qualifying, International Friendlies, and the club’s first contest during the U17 World Cup Group Stage vs. Senegal.

Armour’s upcoming Tulsa tenure will be the third USL Championship stint of his young career. He initially inked a USL Academy contract with North Carolina FC in 2019, then re-signed on another Academy deal to keep him with the club in 2020.

A year later, Armour signed with MLS’s Charlotte FC in June of 2021 and was loaned to the Charlotte Independence a month later where he appeared 19 times in the regular season with four assists. The Independence finished sixth in the league, clinching place in the USL Championship Playoffs for the second consecutive season.

“I’m very excited to get started in Tulsa,” said Armour. “I’m looking forward to building a bond with the guys and the club. I’m ready to get to work and help contribute to the club’s success.”
