O'Toole Signs With NYCFC
March 07, 2022 | Men's Soccer
Kevin O'Toole is officially signed with NYCFC.
The New York City Football Club announced that 2021 All-American and two-time Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year Kevin O'Toole has been signed through the 2022 MLS season with options for 2023 and 2024.
O'Toole was drafted 34th overall by NYCFC in this January's MLS Superdraft.
"I am happy to have signed my first professional contract with NYCFC," O'Toole told NYCF.com. "I am grateful for the coaching staff and everyone at NYCFC for believing in me. It's an honor to join such a great organization and have really enjoyed my experience with the team in preseason. I am excited for the opportunity. From day one, I have come out and given my all on the pitch. We have a great group of guys, so many great professionals that I can learn from, and I aim to continue to grow and improve every day. I am excited to be at Yankee Stadium and meet our fans at our Home Opener this weekend."
The fifth Tiger all-time to hear his named called in the Superdraft and 11th drafted overall into MLS, O'Toole was the 34th player chosen this year and first Princeton player selected since Thomas Sanner was also picked in the Second Round (36th overall) by Vancouver.
"We are pleased to sign Kevin as he has impressed during preseason and shown an ability to adjust quickly to the professional level," NYCFC Sporting Director, David Lee, said. "He was a standout player at Princeton University, and credit to Coach Barlow and all the staff for the role they played in his development, and we're excited he has earned an opportunity to continue his football career with us. Kevin's technical quality, professionalism and work-rate have enabled him to quickly integrate into the group and he will also have an opportunity to earn minutes with NYCFC II during the MLS Next Pro season, which will also benefit his development."
Over his career, O'Toole appeared in 58 matches, scoring 15 goals and adding 18 assists -- the fourth-most assists in a career by a Princeton player.
A two-time Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, three-time United Soccer All-Region selection, and three-time first-team All-Ivy honoree, O'Toole posted seven goals and nine assists for 23 points as Princeton played its way to an Ivy League championship with just the second 7-0-0 Ivy season in program history. His nine assists this season are tied for No. 3 all-time in a season by a Tiger.
He was at his best when the games mattered most, tallying an Ivy-best six goals, six assists and 18 points during conference play.
Around the nation, O'Toole ranked No. 17 in total assists and No. 20 in assists-per-game (0.5).
