TSC Alumnus Liam Stribling Signs Homegrown Contract with MLS Nashville SC
NASHVILLE, TN – Former Tennessee Soccer Club alumnus Liam Stribling signed a homegrown contract with Major League Soccer (MLS) club Nashville SC on Wednesday. The contract goes through the 2030-31 MLS season with an option for 2031-32.
“Liam is an exciting talent who has been a real standout at the youth levels for both club and country,” said Mike Jacobs, Nashville SC president of soccer operations and general manager. “We are excited to see his development as he continues to progress through our pro player pathway.”
The 15-year-old US youth international joined Nashville SC’s youth academy after growing up in the Tennessee Soccer Club developmental system. Stribling played on the Williamson Boys Showcase and Academy teams throughout his years wearing the TSC colors.
“We are incredibly proud of Liam and what he has accomplished throughout his journey,” said TSC Director of Soccer Stephen Jordan. “Hopefully, we will see Liam in uniform at Geodis Park soon and have loads of TSC players in the stands cheering him on and seeing what their future could be.”
In 2022, the TSC standout was selected to join the Nashville SC youth academy and has spent time with Nashville SC’s MLS NEXT Pro affiliate Huntsville City FC, making his professional debut this spring at just 15 years and 115 days old. Stribling was named a 2026 MLS Next All-Star and is the youngest player to appear for Huntsville City, featuring in eight matches and starting four.
Stribling will be rostered with Huntsville City FC during the 2027 MLS Sprint Season. His first-team contract begins during the 2027-28 MLS campaign.
