LEESBURG, Va. – Loudoun United FC announced on Wednesday the club had signed midfielder Moses Nyeman to a one-year contract for the 2025 USL Championship season with an option for the 2026 campaign. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.
Nyeman returns to Loudoun United having previously made 18 appearances for the club, the majority of which came in the 2019 season prior to his signing as a Homegrown Player with D.C. United. Since then, he has played for Real Salt Lake and Minnesota United FC of Major League Soccer and Belgian club S.K. Beveren
“Moses is an extremely talented center midfielder who, at just 21, has already gained invaluable experience playing both in MLS and abroad. He is an incredible passer of the ball and reads the game at an extremely high level,” said Loudoun Head Coach Ryan Martin. “Beyond his talent on the pitch, Moses is a great young man, and we’re excited to be reunited with him this season!”
Nyeman made his competitive debut for Loudoun on June 5, 2019, in a 3-2 win against Sporting Kansas City II. At 15 years, 7 months, and 1 day old, he was at the time the youngest player in Loudoun United history, now ranking third behind Gavin Turner and Matai Akinmboni. His reputation continued to grow when he scored his first professional goal against Louisville City FC on July 29, 2019. This achievement made him the youngest goalscorer in club history, a record he still holds today, while also ranking third in league history behind current Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies and current Chivas de Guadalajara forward Cade Cowell.
After signing with D.C. United, Nyeman made 32 appearances in MLS across three seasons before joining Challenger Pro League side S.K. Beveren on a two-year deal. In 2023, Nyeman spent the season on loan to MLS side Real Salt Lake before making a permanent move to Minnesota United FC in 2024 on a one-year deal.
On the international stage, Nyeman has represented the United States Men’s National Team at the U-16 and U-17 levels, making eight appearances and recording three goals during International Friendlies.
