Early life and youth career
Early life
Bryce Duke was born on February 28, 2001, in Peoria, Arizona. He was raised in Peoria, where his family provided strong support for his early interests, particularly his mother, who played a key role in encouraging his passion for soccer from a young age.[3] Duke's initial exposure to soccer came at age 7, when he joined a local church team in Peoria.[3] After a couple of years, he transitioned to local clubs including ISCO, Valparaiso United, and a recreational league in Arizona, marking the beginning of his structured involvement in the sport before advancing to more organized youth programs.[4][5]Youth career
Duke continued his organized youth soccer with the CCV Stars in Peoria, Arizona, where he developed as a midfielder prior to 2016.[6] Following a successful trial in 2015, Duke joined the Real Salt Lake Academy in 2016, training at the club's facilities in Herriman, Utah.[6][7] Over three years with the academy (2016–2019), he recorded 16 goals in 59 matches, showcasing his attacking potential in youth competitions.[7] In August 2019, Duke returned to Arizona to join the Barça Residency Academy in Casa Grande, the official U.S. residential affiliate of FC Barcelona, where he trained under the club's renowned possession-based methodology.[1][6] During the 2019–2020 season, he contributed five goals in 13 appearances (12 starts) for the academy's senior team.[8] As his youth career progressed toward professionalism, Duke faced a pivotal choice in early 2020: a tryout invitation to FC Barcelona's La Masia academy in Spain. He ultimately declined the opportunity to sign a homegrown contract with Los Angeles FC, prioritizing an immediate path to MLS play.[9]Club career
Los Angeles FC
Bryce Duke signed his first professional contract with Los Angeles FC as a homegrown player on January 25, 2020, at the age of 18, after the club acquired his homegrown rights from Real Salt Lake. This move came after Duke had spent time in the youth systems of Real Salt Lake and the Barça Residency Academy in Arizona, where he recorded five goals in 13 appearances for the U-18/19 team during the 2019 season. Notably, Duke opted to join LAFC despite opportunities for a tryout at FC Barcelona's La Masia academy, prioritizing a direct path to Major League Soccer.[7][9] Duke made his professional debut for LAFC on February 18, 2020, appearing as a substitute in a 3-1 loss to Club León in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal second leg. His MLS debut followed shortly after, on March 1, 2020, when he entered as a stoppage-time substitute in a 1-0 victory over Inter Miami CF during the league's inaugural match for the expansion side. Over the 2020 and 2021 MLS seasons, Duke made 26 appearances for LAFC without scoring a goal, primarily coming off the bench as a versatile midfielder. His first MLS start occurred on September 9, 2020, in a 3-0 loss to Real Salt Lake, where he played 45 minutes before being substituted at halftime.[1][3][10] In limited minutes, Duke showed promise in his rotations, logging 687 total minutes across both seasons and contributing to LAFC's midfield depth during their 2020 MLS Supporters' Shield-winning campaign and 2021 Western Conference Finals run. A highlight came on October 18, 2020, when he earned his second MLS start against the Portland Timbers, playing 74 minutes in a 1-1 draw and completing 41 of 49 passes while registering 62 touches. To further his development, LAFC loaned Duke to their USL Championship affiliate, Las Vegas Lights FC, starting May 5, 2021, providing him with increased playing time in a lower division.[10][11]Las Vegas Lights (loan)
In May 2021, Los Angeles FC loaned midfielder Bryce Duke to its USL Championship affiliate, Las Vegas Lights FC, to provide him with increased playing time and professional experience in a competitive environment.[12] The loan began on May 5 and spanned the remainder of the Lights' season, allowing Duke to integrate into the squad alongside other LAFC loanees.[11] During his time with the Lights, Duke made 12 appearances, all as starts, contributing one goal and three assists.[13] His sole goal came in the 74th minute of a 2-0 victory over Tacoma Defiance on June 5, 2021, when he chipped the goalkeeper on a breakaway to seal the win in the Lights' home opener.[14] Duke also provided key assists, including one for Danny Musovski's early goal in a 4-3 win against LA Galaxy II on June 16, and earned USL Championship Team of the Week honors for Week Seven after creating 21 chances across his outings.[15][16] The loan proved instrumental in Duke's development as a central midfielder, offering regular minutes in a 4-2-3-1 formation that suited his attacking role and helped him adapt to professional demands.[15] Duke noted that the experience built his confidence and tactical awareness, preparing him for the faster pace and physicality of Major League Soccer, while emphasizing his desire to "keep building [his] confidence and earn more minutes" upon returning to LAFC.[15] By mid-season, he had become a regular starter, logging significant creative contributions that highlighted his growth in chance creation and positional play.[15]Inter Miami CF
On January 4, 2022, Inter Miami CF acquired Bryce Duke from Los Angeles FC in exchange for $100,000 in general allocation money, signing him as a homegrown player due to his development in LAFC's academy system.[17][13] Duke, then 20 years old, transitioned to the first team following a loan spell at USL Championship side Las Vegas Lights, which helped build his professional experience.[5] During his tenure with Inter Miami from 2022 to early 2023, Duke made 35 appearances in Major League Soccer, scoring 1 goal and providing 7 assists.[18] In his debut season of 2022, he featured in 28 MLS matches (16 starts), logging 1,478 minutes, with his lone goal coming as a game-winner on April 24 against Chicago Fire FC—his first in MLS—which extended Inter Miami's winning streak to four games.[1][19] In the 2022 MLS regular season, Duke recorded 7 assists in 28 appearances, leading the team in that category and establishing himself as a reliable two-way midfielder.[20] In 2023, prior to his departure, he appeared in 7 MLS games (4 starts) for 439 minutes without scoring or assisting.[1] Additionally, Duke made 2 appearances for Inter Miami II in MLS Next Pro during 2022, without recording a goal.[21] Duke's time with Inter Miami concluded on April 12, 2023, when he was traded to CF Montréal along with forward Ariel Lassiter in exchange for defender Kamal Miller and $1.3 million in general allocation money for the 2023 season.[22] Inter Miami retained a sell-on percentage for Duke as part of the deal.[23] Prior to the trade, Inter Miami had extended Duke's contract in March 2023, recognizing his contributions to the squad.[20]CF Montréal
On April 12, 2023, CF Montréal acquired Bryce Duke from Inter Miami CF in exchange for defender Kamal Miller and $1.3 million in general allocation money.[23][22] Duke quickly integrated into the squad as a central midfielder, earning starts in 20 of his 26 MLS regular-season appearances during the 2023 campaign, where he contributed 2 goals and 1 assist.[10] His first goal for the club came on April 29, 2023, in a 2-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City, helping Montréal secure an early win after his arrival.[1] In 2024, Duke solidified his role, starting 24 of 32 MLS regular-season matches and recording 3 goals and 4 assists, which supported the team's late-season surge to clinch an Audi MLS Cup Playoffs berth on Decision Day.[10][24] However, Montréal was eliminated in the Eastern Conference Wild Card match against Atlanta United on October 22, 2024, via a 5-4 penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw.[25] Over his full tenure from 2023 to 2025, Duke amassed 76 MLS regular-season appearances and 5 goals, providing consistent depth and creativity in the midfield while adapting to various tactical setups under multiple head coaches.[10] The 2025 season proved challenging for both Duke and the team, with Montréal finishing with a 6-10-18 record and missing the playoffs.[26] Duke appeared in 18 regular-season games, mostly as a substitute with 7 starts, contributing 1 assist but no goals amid the squad's struggles.[10] On October 20, 2025, CF Montréal declined Duke's contract option for 2026, making him a free agent and concluding his time with the club.[27]International career
Youth international career
Bryce Duke earned a call-up to the United States U-18 Men's Youth National Team based on his standout performances with the Real Salt Lake academy.[28] He was named to the roster for the first training camp of 2019, held from February 1 to 7 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, as part of the development cycle leading to the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[29][28] Under head coach Tab Ramos, the camp focused on training and evaluation, with Duke participating as a midfielder despite being listed among the forwards on the 20-player roster.[29][13] In December 2020, Duke was named to the 2021 U.S. U-20 Men's National Team player pool.[30] Subsequent references identified him as a U.S. U-18 international, highlighting his role in youth national team activities.[6]Senior international career
As of November 2025, Bryce Duke has not earned any senior caps for the United States men's national team (USMNT).[2] Duke holds American citizenship by birth, having been born in Peoria, Arizona, making him eligible to represent the USMNT at the senior level.[1] Despite his progression through the youth ranks, he has yet to receive a senior call-up, with no records of invitations to training camps or match squads. Factors such as his commitments during the 2025 season with CF Montréal and the competitive depth in the USMNT's midfield positions have limited his opportunities to date.[1] Duke's consistent performances in Major League Soccer, including 18 appearances with 1 assist during the 2025 season for CF Montréal, underscore his potential for future international consideration.[31] At 24 years old, his technical skills and experience in high-stakes MLS matches position him as a candidate for the USMNT's extended player pool heading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup cycle.[10]Personal life and playing style
Personal life
Bryce Duke was born and raised in Peoria, Arizona, where he developed his early interest in soccer.[2] Following his trade to CF Montréal in 2023, he has resided in Montreal, Quebec, to fulfill his professional commitments with the club.[32] With his contract set to expire on December 31, 2025, and the club's option for an additional year declined, Duke is entering free agency at the conclusion of the 2025 MLS season, potentially leading to a relocation depending on his next contract.[33][2] Beyond his athletic career, Duke is actively involved in community initiatives through the Bryce Duke Foundation, which he established to support youth development. The foundation organizes "CAMP ONE," a free soccer camp held in Los Angeles aimed at inspiring young participants, fostering dreams, and building a supportive soccer community for underprivileged children.[34] These efforts reflect his commitment to giving back to the sport that shaped his life, with the inaugural camp launched in 2025 as a platform for education, teamwork, and personal growth.[34] Duke maintains an active presence on social media, where he shares updates about his professional journey, foundation work, and personal motivations under the handles @bryce.duke on Instagram and @DukeBryce on X (formerly Twitter).[7] His online engagement helps connect with fans and promote youth soccer opportunities, though specific hobbies remain largely undisclosed in public profiles. Duke keeps his family life private, with limited details available about personal relationships or relatives beyond general mentions of a supportive family background that has influenced his grounded lifestyle.[35] This emphasis on privacy allows him to focus on his career and philanthropy without public scrutiny of intimate matters.Playing style
Bryce Duke operates primarily as an attacking midfielder, measuring 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) in height, which contributes to his agile and nimble profile on the pitch.[2] His tactical role emphasizes playmaking from central or right-sided positions, where he excels in vision and short passing to orchestrate attacks.[36] Duke's style involves frequent layoffs and quick ball progression, allowing him to link play effectively while maintaining a high work rate through ball regains and interceptions.[37] Among his key strengths, Duke demonstrates creativity in the final third, highlighted by his career tally of 17 assists across 169 appearances, often derived from key passes and successful dribbles that evade defenders.[38][36] His agility compensates for his stature, enabling dynamic movement and tackling contributions that bolster defensive transitions.[37] However, weaknesses include limited goal-scoring output, with only 8 career goals, stemming from poor finishing efficiency, and challenges in physical duels due to his build and low aerial duel success rate of 0.1 per game.[38][37] Duke's development has seen him evolve from a box-to-box midfielder in his early professional days with LAFC and Inter Miami, where he provided end-to-end energy, to a more advanced, creative role as CF Montréal's number 10, focusing on assists and final-third penetration.[39][2] This shift has refined his passing accuracy to around 75% and enhanced his positional awareness in attacking zones.[36]Career statistics
