Liberian Winger Bryant Farkarlun Signs with Austin FC, Begins MLS Journey

Monrovia – Winger Bryant Jimmy Farkarlun has signed his first Major League Soccer (MLS) contract with Austin FC, the club announced on Saturday.

Farkarlun joins Austin FC’s first team on a guaranteed contract through the end of the 2024 season, with options for 2025 and 2026. During his time with the club, he made 12 appearances with Austin FC II in MLS NEXT Pro, scoring two goals and providing three assists.

Previously playing for Monrovia Club Breweries, Farkarlun was the No. 31 overall selection in the MLS draft. He scored two goals with the first team during the preseason before receiving his MLS NEXT Pro assignment. The deal includes a loan agreement allowing him to play for Austin FC II through 2024.

“Jimmy will add depth to our winger options going forward,” said Austin FC Sporting Director Rodolfo Borrell. “He is a young talent with the potential to grow and improve with our club.”

Originally from Monrovia, Liberia, Farkarlun began his collegiate career at Houston Christian University in 2020, where he scored 17 goals and provided eight assists in 47 games. In his final year at HCU, he scored nine goals, three of which were game winners. He then transferred to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, where he was named to the All-WAC First Team after contributing five goals in 12 appearances during his lone season with the Vaqueros.

Farkarlun will occupy a spot on the Austin FC roster and will not count as an international player due to his U.S. green card status. He is eligible to participate in MLS matches immediately.

In 2020, Farkarlun left Liberia to pursue college soccer, supported by Ken Sports Management, owned by former Liberian professional player Arnold Kennedy. Farkarlun has earned a degree in Psychology, providing a foundation for life after football.

During his college years, Farkarlun secured two MVP awards at Houston Christian University over three years. Additionally, he won the Philadelphia 2023 County Meet MVP, serving as an inspiration for other student-athletes and Liberian players.
