Club career

Career start

Erik Palmer-Brown was born on April 24, 1997 to Marilyn Palmer and Harry Brown in the city of Napoleon , Ohio , and spent the first year and a half of his life here before he and his family moved to Lee's Summit , Missouri , where he still lives today with his mother, younger brother and grandparents. When he was eight years old, his father died, which Palmer-Brown himself saw as less significant, since he had hardly any contact with his father anyway. Especially when he was younger, his mother worked night shifts to secure the life of her family, some of whom lived under below average living conditions. During his childhood and in the first years of school, he began his career as a football player, where he was also active in local youth clubs. With the introduction of the US Soccer Development Academy as the highest youth division in North America in 2007, the franchises also founded their own soccer academies, including the MLS franchise from Kansas City , Kansas , which was then still known as the Kansas City Wizards . This was founded with a U-12, a U-14, a U-16 and a U-18 team; Almost two years later, Palmer-Brown was accepted at the academy, after he had only played football during his school days and at local youth clubs.

Erik Palmer-Brown then played at the academy for five years, going through all youth classes up to U-18 and having already gained initial experience in international football. After first appearances for the US-American U-15 selection , first drafts for the US- U-17 squad followed . During his time at the academy he was a three-time national champion (2009, 2010 and 2011) and in his last two years before the professional contract he played in 40 championship games, 38 of which he was on the pitch from the start. In addition, in the fall of 2011, his freshman year, he completed his first season for the football department at Lee's Summit High School , before moving to Archbishop O'Hara High School , across the Missouri River in Kansas City , Missouri , a year later . changed. During that time, he was also elected to the All-Conference First Team , named All-Conference Defensive Player of the Year , and received honorable mentions from the MSHSAA Western All-Region and Class 3 All-Kansas City Teams . Within three years under academy director and coach Jon Parry , he trained for the first time with the professionals in 2012 and was used for the first time in a game of the MLS Reserve League in June 2012 .

Youngest player from Sporting Kansas City

On August 2, 2013, the then 16-year-old Palmer-Brown signed his first professional contract with the football team now known as Sporting Kansas City . After Jon Kempin (August 2010) and Kevin Ellis (February 2011), he was the third self-made player who was offered a contract for the MLS franchise and made his competitive debut for this too. At 17 years and 24 days, he was also the youngest player in the history of the franchise, as well as the youngest defender ever to appear in the MLS. He was also the only MLS player to be born in 1997. Despite his now affiliation with the pros, the defensive line was at this point also eligible to play for the U-18 academy team of Sporting Kansas City.

In January 2014, the franchise from the Italian top club Inter Milan is said to have received an offer of one million US dollars for the central defender, but Sporting Kansas City declined. Palmer-Brown had not yet played a single professional game and had only been active in the academy, for the school team and on an international level. His professional debut for the reigning champions was then another four months in coming before he was on the field from the start on May 18, 2014 in a 2-1 loss to Chicago Fire .

In the 2014 game year he was subsequently used in two championship games, a 0-1 away defeat against DC United on June 1 and a 2-0 away win over Houston Dynamo on June 7, but was already a regular in these in action.

After he had voluntarily moved from the Eastern Conference to the Western Conference with the franchise, like Houston Dynamo, before the beginning of the season , he ranks there with the team in sixth place of regular time at the end of the season. In the subsequent play-offs he was eliminated with the team, as a year before, in the knockout round; this time, however, only on penalties against the Portland Timbers.
