January 25, 2024 – United Soccer League Championship (USL) – Orange County SC News Release
Orange County SC is thrilled to announce the arrival of 17-year-old Duran Ferree on loan from new MLS side San Diego FC for the 2024 USL Championship Season. The United States youth international became SDFC’s first ever signing back in December, and will now call Championship Stadium home for 2024.
“This is a very exciting time in my professional career,” said Ferree. “To be on loan with Orange County SC during the 2024 season not only allows me to train and play at a high level, it also places me in a league environment where I have familiarity and will allow me to flourish. The proximity to San Diego is an added bonus and I look forward to continuing to play in front of Southern California fans.”
The San Diego, CA native spent the first two seasons of his professional career with San Diego Loyal SC. He made his professional debut on October 9, 2022 against New Mexico United, where he recorded two saves in a 3-3 draw. He appeared four times for San Diego Loyal in 2023, recording two clean sheets. He recorded a 1.64 Goals Allowed Average in six matches while with the Loyal.
“We are grateful to San Diego FC for the trust they have placed in OCSC to continue Duran’s professional development,” OCSC President of Soccer Operations and General Manager Peter Nugent said. “He is a talented young keeper with a bright future ahead of him and we are looking forward to working with him.”
Ferree has also received multiple call-ups to the United States Youth National Teams in his young career. He was first called into a U-17 January Training Camp in 2023, before being added to the 2023 CONCACAF U-17 Championship roster in February. There, he made four starts and posted two clean sheets as he helped lead the USYNT to a second place finish. He also was named to the roster for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia, alongside new OCSC teammate Bryce Jamison, where he appeared in one group stage match against France.
As previously mentioned, Ferree became the first signing in the history of San Diego FC on December 13, 2023. Ferree comes to OCSC on loan for the 2024 season, with San Diego FC not expected to begin play until the 2025 season.
