Revolution sign 17-year-old Ugandan midfielder Allan Oyirwoth

FOXBOROUGH, MA– New England Revolution have announced the signing of 17-year-old Ugandan midfielder Allan Oyirwoth.

Oyirwoth will occupy a supplemental roster slot on the senior roster.

Allan Oyirwoth is announced as a new signing for New England Revolution.

Allan Oyirwoth is a 17-year-old, 6’1, 165lb, midfielder from Amor, Pakwach, Uganda.

The contract officially takes effect on Oyirwoth’s 18^th birthday later this month on Jan. 23, 2025, and runs through the 2028 MLS season, with a one-year club option for 2029.

“Allan Oyirwoth is one of the top prospects out of Uganda and a very promising young midfielder,” Revolution Sporting Director Curt Onalfo said. “We are excited to get Allan into our high-potential training environment in New England and help him fulfill his potential.”

Oyirwoth, the second-youngest member of the Revolution’s first team roster as preseason began this week, arrives in MLS after excelling in his native Uganda with Amus College School, among other clubs. He was named the Teso Zone MVP in March 2023 after leading the goal-scoring charts in the zonal school competition. In May, he finished as the top scorer and earned MVP honors at the USSSA National Football Championship, a 64-school tournament.

Oyirwoth has 2 senior appearances for the Uganda Men’s National Team.

“Allan is a talented young midfielder with a tremendous upside and I’m excited to help him reach his potential,” Head Coach Caleb Porter said. “At only 17, Allan is gifted technically and has a frame and range athletically that profiles well for MLS. With time to develop in our training environment, I’m confident he can blossom into an impact midfielder for our first team.”
