Nigerian-American Nathaniel Ayodele Adamolekun has rejoined United Soccer League (USL) side Austin Bold FC for a second season.
The 22-year-old striker, who is also Jamaican, played for Austin Bold last season and has re-signed for the club.
The coach expressed his delight to keep the upcoming player.
“He is amazing young talent that consistently impressed us throughout last season. Even if he struggled to find playing time, he worked hard at every single training session and did everything needed to help the team. We wanted to reward those types of personalities by bringing them back,” said head coach Marcelo Serrano.
Adamolekun joined The Bold in 2020 and made three appearances after spending a season with Austrian club FC Pinzgau Saalfelden.
Adamolekun was a part of Orlando City SC’s inaugural MLS academy before playing collegiately at NC-Chapel Hill in 2016.
The Austin native’s European career began in Portugal with CD Feirense in 2017 and on loan at FC Pedras Rubras in 2018.
The former Jamaica U17 and U20 international is happy to return to Austin Bold.
“I’m extremely excited to have the opportunity to return for another season and continue my development in my hometown with the Austin Bold Family,” said Adamolekun.
“I’m truly honoured and can’t wait to kick off the season with the team to achieve the goals we’ve set.”
