Player career

Youth and college

Lima played for San José Earthquakes in their academy program as a youth and even played in the reserve team at the time. He later played for the youth club De Anza Force Soccer Club. He also played American football in high school.

From 2013 to 2016 he attended the University of California, Berkeley and played for their college team, the California Golden Bears. During the semester break, Lima worked for Burlingame Dragons FC in the Premier Development League .

San Jose Earthquakes

On December 21, 2016, Lima was named a Homegrown Player by the San José Earthquakes . So he was committed directly and did not have to be drafted. His Major League Soccer debut took place on March 4, 2017. Only a few days later he scored his first goal in the game against the Vancouver Whitecaps and thus also the first goal of a homegrown player at the San José Earthquakes.

Lima developed into a regular within the team from the 2018 season, but was nominated for the MLS Defender of the Year and MLS Rookie of the Year awards at the end of its first season.

National team

On January 8, 2018 Lima was nominated for the first time for a game of the national soccer team of the United States , but was not used in the game against Bosnia-Herzegovina. He made his debut a year later in a friendly against Panama.
