VANCOUVER, BC - Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced on Friday that the club has loaned midfielder/forward Kamron Habibullah to Pacific FC through the end of the 2022 Canadian Premier League season.

"In our conversations with Kamron about his career path, we agreed that for him the challenge of a different environment would be best for his progression," said Axel Schuster, Whitecaps FC sporting director. "At Pacific, he will find that and still has the advantage with being close to home."

Habibullah, 18, was signed to an MLS Homegrown contract in April 2021 after first joining the Whitecaps FC BMO MLS Academy as a 12-year-old in 2016. The academy product went on to make his MLS debut on May 2 against Colorado Rapids and made a total of three MLS appearances in his debut professional season.

Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and raised in Vancouver, Habibullah represented Canada's U-17 men's national team in 2019, including Concacaf qualifying and later that year at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil.

Based out of Langford, BC, Pacific FC was founded in 2018 and are the reigning champions of the Canadian Premier League after capturing their first North Star Shield last December. Pacific FC head coach James Merriman was a coach with the Whitecaps FC BMO MLS Academy from 2014 to 2018.

TRANSACTION: On March 11, 2022, Whitecaps FC loan Kamron Habibullah to Pacific FC through the end of the 2022 Canadian Premier League season.
