Offseason Louisville City FC signing Jay Tee Kamara will join USL League One side North Carolina FC for 2021 on a season-long loan, the club announced Tuesday.

As part of the loan agreement, LouCity, which plays in the USL Championship, retains the option to recall Kamara later in the campaign.

"At this time in his development, we feel it is important for Jay Tee to have the chance to get as many game minutes as possible," said John Hackworth, LouCity's head coach and sporting director. "While we all loved seeing his ability on the ball, there are other areas he needs to improve in order to represent this club.

"Therefore, we believe Jay Tee has an excellent opportunity at North Carolina FC. Their principles and style of play are similar to ours. Most importantly, the coaches, who we know well, wanted and needed Jay Tee."

A product of Florida prep school powerhouse Monteverde Academy, Kamara signed with the boys in purple in January and spent the last two months training and playing in preseason games.

LouCity will on Saturday cap a daunting preseason slate that included games against four MLS clubs by hosting the USL Championship's Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC for an exhibition at Lynn Family Stadium. The game will be open to the public with kickoff set for 3 p.m. Tickets are available at LouCity.com or by calling (502) LOU-CITY during regular business hours.

LouCity will then open its 2021 regular season at home April 24 against Atlanta United 2.
