Leesburg, VA. (February 4, 2026) — Loudoun United FC announce the club has acquired midfielder Sean Young via transfer from Pacific FC for an undisclosed fee and signed him to a two-year contract through the 2027 USL Championship season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.
Young, 24, joins Loudoun United FC after spending the past six seasons at Pacific FC in the Canadian Premier League. A native of Victoria, British Columbia, Young made more than 150 appearances for the club across all competitions and played a key role in Pacific’s run to the Canadian Premier League title in 2021.
“I’m extremely excited and grateful to be joining the club,” said Sean Young. “I’m here to work my hardest and committed to improving every day. I will do everything I can to help this team be successful. See you all very soon at Segra Field.”
Young began his soccer journey in Canada, playing youth soccer with Bays United FC before joining the Vancouver Island Wave, where he won a U16 provincial title in 2017. He continued his rise through the Vancouver Island soccer system, spending time with the Victoria Highlanders reserves in the Pacific Coast Soccer League, and later competing at the senior amateur level with Westcastle United, helping the club win the 2019 Jackson cup, the first championship in the club’s history.
“Sean is a combative and versatile midfielder with strong positional awareness,” said Anthony Limbrick, Head Coach of Loudoun United FC. “He brings significant experience, having made close to 150 appearances in the Canadian Premier League. His attitude and determination, both on and off the pitch, will be a positive addition to the environment at Loudoun United FC.”
In 2019, Young joined the Victoria Highlanders FC first team in USL League Two, making 12 appearances and scoring against Portland Timbers U23s. Young signed his first professional contract with Pacific FC in July 2020, becoming the first local player to sign with the club. He made his professional debut in 2020, making nine appearances and logging 462 minutes in the abbreviated season.
In May 2023, Young was named Canadian Premier League Player of the Month. In April 2024, he became the first player in club history to reach 100 appearances across all competitions, marking the milestone with a goal against Valour FC.
“Sean Young brings intensity, two-way reliability, and an aerial presence on set pieces, adding a competitive edge to the group,” said Alen Marcina, Sporting Director for Loudoun United FC. “His ability to cover ground, operate with efficiency and effectiveness in possession, and contribute on both sides of the ball supports the demands of Loudoun United’s high-tempo game model.”
