Agudelo most recently played for MLS side Minnesota United in 2021, and he spent six seasons with the New England Revolution, including playing under now Legion FC President & GM Jay Heaps and Head Coach Tommy Soehn.
Agudelo made his professional debut in 2010 for the New York Red Bulls, and since then has made over 280 appearances for New York, Chivas USA, New England, Inter Miami and Minnesota in MLS and scored 47 goals to go along with 20 assists. In 2014, he signed with Stoke City in the English Premier League and was sent on loan to FC Utrecht in the Netherlands Eredivisie where he played 14 times and scored three goals that season before returning to MLS.
Internationally, Agudelo represented the United States at the under-17, under-20, under-23 and senior team levels. In his 28 caps for the national team, he scored three goals and added two assists. He scored in his first-team international debut, a 1-0 win over South Africa in 2010, becoming the youngest goal scorer in USMNT history, at the time, six days shy of his 18th birthday.
“I’m excited to be in Birmingham,” said Agudelo. “I’m looking forward to playing in the new stadium and to reconnecting with Jay, Tommy, [Assistant Coach] Khano [Smith], [Academy Director Eric] Avi [Avila], [midfielder] Zach [Herivaux] and other guys I played with in New England. I really can’t believe how many people I already know that are a part of the club. That should make for a comfortable and quick integration into the team, so that’s why I chose to Hammer Down!”
