Career

Jaylin Lindsey was born on March 27, 2000 to a white mother and an African-American father in the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, where he grew up and began his career as a football player at an early age. Here he mainly attended the Charlotte Soccer Academy , or Charlotte SA for short , before he made the jump to the Academy of Sporting Kansas City in January 2015 . He started his actual career on a hobby basis as a 5-year-old and only came to his first youth training club at the age of ten, where he initially trained as a striker before moving to the defensive line at the age of 13. At the start in Kansas City still only in the various academy teams active, he managed from 2016 to climb to the two professional teams and already trained frequently with the Major League Soccer franchise Sporting Kansas City and their second professional team Swope Park Rangers from the third-rate North American United Soccer League with.

At the beginning of May 2016, the now 16-year-old defender was offered a so-called academy contract by the Swope Park Rangers , which allowed him to play football on a professional level, but also to take part in the academy’s game operations, thus also qualifying him to participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is not at risk. As players with such a contract, Ezra Armstrong , Will Little and Steven Tekesky were already in action with the Rangers at that time . In the course of time, he has been compared with his compatriot Erik Palmer-Brown , who has been on loan at FC Porto since February 2016 , and he was also confirmed that he might soon be involved abroad. By the time his contract was signed, he had made 24 academy assignments, 15 of them all in the 2015/16 season, and had already played for the U-14, U-15 and U-17 national teams in his home country. Especially in the last-mentioned U-17 national team, he made regular international appearances, including at the beginning of 2016 at the Mercedes-Benz Aegean Cup in Turkey or at the AIFF Youth Cup in May 2016 in Goa , India .

After his first unofficial appearance for the Swope Park Rangers in a friendly match against the University of Tulsa men's soccer team in April 2016 , Lindsey made his professional debut on May 8, 2016 when he lost 3-0 away to the Saint Louis FC came on for Brazilian Ualefi in the 85th minute . The defender , who was mainly used as a central defender , was the first American player born in the 2000s to make his professional debut as a footballer. Then it took over three months before Lindsey was used again in a third division game; in the 0-1 away defeat against the Real Monarchs he was part of the team coached by Marc Dos Santos from the start and was replaced by Nansel Selbol from the 67th minute . Prior to that, he was voted USSDA Team of the Year in July 2016 , having played 13 championship games for the U-16 academy team and five appearances for the academy's U-18 team in the 2015/16 season. In mid-October 2016 he was accepted into the US Under-17 Residency Program at the IMG Academy in Bradenton , Florida .

On September 15, 2017, he signed a homegrown player deal with Sporting Kansas City.
