FRISCO, Texas (June 5, 2026) – North Texas SC has signed forward Da'vian Kimbrough on loan from USL Championship side Sacramento Republic FC through the end of the 2026 MLS NEXT Pro season.
“We are very much looking forward to getting Da’vian into our environment," North Texas SC head coach John Gall said. “He’s a talented young player with a lot of potential. He’s coachable, hard working and determined, all the traits that give young players the best chance to succeed.”
On Oct. 1, 2023, Kimbrough made his professional debut for Sacramento Republic FC at 13 years, 7 months and 13 days old, becoming the youngest player to debut in a professional American soccer league. Current FC Dallas assistant coach Mark Briggs, who was Sacramento's head coach at the time, handed Kimbrough his professional debut.
