RALEIGH, N.C. (February 12th, 2024) - Nick Holliday has become the first-ever NCFC player to earn a direct transfer to a MLS contract. He will join Charlotte FC in the 2024 season with their MLS Next Pro team, with a 3-year guaranteed MLS contract beginning in 2025.
Holliday joined NCFC Youth in 2018 as part of the U13 Academy South team. He signed his first professional contract with North Carolina FC in 2021 at age 15 and has continued to excel in the Youth-to-Pro model. In his time as a pro, he has totaled 2,340 minutes to post 75 saves and a 71.2 career save percentage.
Reminiscing on his time with NCFC Youth, Holliday stated, "This opportunity means everything to me. I give a lot of thanks to God for putting me in this position and to my parents for their support. NCFC as a whole has been an amazing experience. I've grown so much through the coaches and staff mentoring me everyday and all of my teammates along the way. I joined when I was 12 years old - joining the Academy was one of the best decisions I've made. I am honored to have been a part of this family for so long."
Congratulations Nick - we can't wait to continue watching your journey!
