Loudoun United FC have acquired goalkeeper Calle Brown and midfielder Omar Milton Campos as their first signings in club history pending league and federation approval.
“Signing two high quality players is a major milestone in Loudoun United history,” Richie Williams, Loudoun United FC Head Coach, said. “Calle is a local guy with deep ties in the area, who has had a great career in USL and MLS. We wanted to bring in a player with some experience in domestic soccer and Calle provided us with that. We are also really excited to add Omar to the squad. He is a young player who we’ve been watching closely in El Salvador. We think this is a great avenue for him to continue his development and we’re really excited to see how both players fit into the squad in the inaugural season.”
“Signing the first players to represent Loudoun United in our inaugural season is a special chapter in our history books,” Adam Behnke, Loudoun United Chief Operating Officer, said. “The fact that we were able to add a player with deep ties to Loudoun County in Calle and a talented young midfielder from El Salvador in Omar is a great first step in assembling a team that embodies our community. We’re looking forward to adding more players ahead of our USL opener on March 9.”
In 2018, Brown made 70 saves and recorded two clean sheets for United Soccer League Championship (USL Championship) side Seattle Sounders FC 2.
Brown, a Leesburg, Va., native, played for Loudoun County High School and spent time with the Northern Virginia Royals, of the United Soccer League 2 (USL 2). After graduating from high school, Brown made 30 appearances in four years at the University of Virginia. The goalkeeper led the team to the Division I NCAA Championship in 2014 after posting 10 shutouts and recording a 0.68 goals against average in 21 games played. He was named to the NCAA College Cup All-Tournament Team and tabbed as Most Valuable Defensive Player at the College Cup.
After graduating from UVA, Brown began his professional career with USL Championship side Pittsburgh Riverhounds after signing with them on March 13, 2015. The goalkeeper then transitioned to MLS side, Houston Dynamo, on Dec. 17 of that same year. He spent loan spells at Rio Grande Valley FC before being traded to the Seattle Sounders on Feb. 20, 2018. In four USL Championship seasons, Brown recorded 17 clean sheets in 55 appearances.

He then moved to Club Deportivo Dragón in the Salvadoran Primera División. The midfielder represented El Salvador at the U-18, U-19 and U-20 levels.
