The flame of his passion for “the beautiful game” was ignited by his uncle and former All-American football player Dylan Walton-Yedlin at the tender age of four.
By the time he was eleven, he had already evolved into an offensive, explosive and tricky lad, unlike the defensive one he would later go on to be.
Before starting his college career, he embarked an astounding youth career with Emerald City FC, Northwest Nationals, Crossfire Premier and Seattle Sounders FC till 2011.
He pursued his college at the University of Akron making 23 appearances in freshman year and another 22 appearances in the sophomore year, with six assists in each. Meanwhile, he also earned his place in the 2012 All-PDL First XI playing for Seattle’s U-23 in the Premier Development League.
His breakthrough as a professional would come only after being signed as the first homegrown player by Seattle Sounders FC 2013. He became an immediate success with the feat of being the first rookie ever to be selected the MLS Team of the Week.
Another rookie record was broken when he was the 3rd ranked MLS player under the age of 24 years and the All-Star team as the only second rookie to do so.
Once he was shot into the limelight, bids began to pour for this star with Tottenham Hotspur winning the race for him in 2014 following their $ 4 million worth deal.
