Leesburg, VA. (February 2, 2026) — Loudoun United FC announce that the club has acquired midfielder Jack Panayotou on loan from New England Revolution through the 2026 season, pending league and federation approval.
Panayotou, 21, joins Loudoun United FC after loan spells with Rhode Island and Hartford Athletic in the USL Championship. During his loan in 2024 with Rhode Island, he helped the team to the USL Championship final before they lost at Colorado Switchbacks. He followed this by joining Hartford Athletics in 2025, where he assisted the team in winning the USL Cup and reaching the Eastern Conference Play-Offs.
“I’m excited for this new chapter and thankful for the opportunity to be here,” said Jack Panayotou. “I’m ready to work hard, grow every day, and do whatever I can to help this team succeed.”
Panayotou developed within the New England Revolution Academy and has represented the United States at a youth international level, including recently in the U-23 National Team. He was a member of the Revolution Academy U-19 team that won the 2022 MLS NEXT Cup Championship, scoring six goals during the tournament, including the game-winning goal in the championship match. He was also named the 2022 UnitedHealthcare Revolution Academy Player of the Year.
“Jack is an exciting player, and we are pleased to have signed him at Loudoun United FC. Despite being just 21 years of age, he has already gained valuable experience through two loan spells in the USL, demonstrating his ability to compete effectively at this level and influence matches,” said Anthony Limbrick, Head Coach of Loudoun United FC. “He is an attacking player who is comfortable carrying the ball and taking on opponents in 1v1 situations. We look forward to welcoming Jack and supporting his continued development as a player.”
Following his time in the Academy system, Panayotou played one season at Georgetown University, recording seven goals and three assists across 19 matches.
Panayotou began his professional career with New England Revolution II, making his debut in 2022. He earned his first-team debut for the New England Revolution in 2023 against D.C. United, and later scored his first MLS goal during the 2024 Leagues Cup group stage against Mazatlán F.C.
“We thank New England Revolution for the opportunity to work with Jack Panayotou during this stage of his development with Loudoun United,” said Alen Marcina, Sporting Director for Loudoun United FC. “Jack is a dynamic, technically sharp attacker with excellent 1v1 ability who brings attacking intent in advanced areas. His willingness to run at defenders, play with confidence between lines, and take responsibility in decisive moments adds a direct attacking dimension.”
