OTTAWA, ON - Atlético Ottawa has today confirmed the signing of Canadian/Uzbekistani forward Kamron Habibullah to a contract guaranteed through 2027 ahead of the 2026 Canadian Premier League (CPL) season with a club option for 2028.

Habibullah, 22, returns to the CPL after previously featuring for Pacific FC in the 2022 season, making 16 appearances and recording two assists.

The former Canada under-20 international arrives after a stint with Sweden's second division side Sandvikens IF.

"Kamron brings a ton of talent and a creative presence to our midfield," said Atleti general manager JD Ulanowski. "He is a player who possesses a specific attacking profile and, most importantly, can contribute right away to the team. We're looking forward to seeing Kam show his ability this season."

"I'm pretty familiar with the CPL and how it works over here. I'm really excited to continue my professional journey with Ottawa and take on another chapter in my career, " said Habibullah. "Ottawa, of course, were the champions last year, and it's great to join a side that wants to win again. I felt like it was a good fit for me to come here. I like to take risks, and I like to play with the ball. I like to have fun, and I just want to win."

Habibullah joins Atleti ahead of their Concacaf Champions Cup home match against Nashville SC on February 17th.
