United States international striker Patrick Agyemang joined Derby County in the summer of 2025.

Agyemang linked up with the Rams from Major League Soccer side Charlotte FC for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract until the summer of 2029.

A 6-foot-4-inch striker, he came to Derby immediately following the CONCACAF Gold Cup, where he led the line for the United States Men’s National Team (USMNT) as they reached the final of the competition.

After scoring 10 goals during the 2024 season to fire Charlotte to the MLS Play-Offs, the forward scored eight goals and recorded two assists in 18 appearances during the first half of Charlotte’s 2025 campaign before linking up with the USMNT squad, and later the Rams.

Agyemang, who hails from East Hartford, Connecticut, began his football (soccer) career in high school. In 2018, he attended Eastern Connecticut State University, where he played US college soccer for the Eastern Connecticut Warriors.

Over two years, he netted 30 goals in 39 matches for the college side.

He transferred to the University of Rhode Island in 2020 to play for their team - the Rams. He racked up a further 19 goals and provided 12 assists while in Rhode Island.

His first non-college league experience came alongside his university activity as he also played for the USL League Two side Western Mass Pioneers in 2021, providing six goals and six assists on the way to his team lifting the league’s Eastern Conference title.

After college, Agyemang was selected by Major League Soccer side Charlotte as a rookie in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft - joining in December 2022.

His impressive form for the North Carolina team over the next two seasons saw him catch the attention of USMNT Manager Mauricio Pochettino and Derby County.

He earned his first senior international cap in January 2025 and went on to score five goals within his first nine matches for his nation.
