Deandre Yedlin was born on July 9, 1993, in Seattle, Washington, and was raised by his grandparents, Ira Yedlin and Vicki Walton. His soccer journey began at a young age, playing for Emerald City FC and Northwest Nationals before joining the U.S. Soccer Development Academy club Crossfire Premier. He later moved to the Seattle Sounders FC youth academy for the 2010–11 season. Yedlin continued his development at the University of Akron, where he played collegiate soccer for two seasons with the Akron Zips, earning College Soccer News Freshman All-American honors in 2011 and being named All-MAC First Team in both 2011 and 2012. During his collegiate offseasons, he competed for the Seattle Sounders FC U-23 in the Premier Development League, where he was recognized in the 2012 All-PDL First XI. These early experiences laid the foundation for his professional career.
Yedlin signed with Seattle Sounders FC on January 11, 2013, as the club’s first Homegrown Player. He made an immediate impact, becoming the first rookie to be named to the MLS Team of the Week in his professional debut and the first rookie All-Star since 2005. During his time with Seattle, he contributed to the team winning the MLS Supporters’ Shield and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open titles in 2014. His performances led to a transfer to Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur in August 2014, joining in January 2015. He subsequently played for Sunderland on loan in the 2015–16 season before moving to Newcastle United in 2016, where he made over 100 appearances and helped them win the EFL Championship in 2017–18, securing promotion to the Premier League. Yedlin then played for Galatasaray in Turkey from 2021 to 2022.
In February 2022, Yedlin returned to Major League Soccer, signing with Inter Miami CF. He quickly took on a leadership role and served as the vice-captain for the team that won Inter Miami’s first trophy, the 2023 Leagues Cup. In March 2024, he joined FC Cincinnati, citing the city’s appeal for raising a family and the quality of TQL Stadium. On the international stage, Yedlin has been a consistent presence for the U.S. Men’s National Team, making his debut in 2014. He was the second-youngest member of the U.S. squad at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and was also a part of the team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, making him the only U.S. player to participate in both tournaments.
