Nouhou Tolo (/ˈnuːhuː ˈtoʊloʊ/; born June 23, 1997), known mononymically as Nouhou, is a Cameroonian footballer who plays as a left back for Seattle Sounders FC in Major League Soccer.[2]
Club career
Nouhou began his career in 2015 with Rainbow Bamenda, where he played for one season. A contract dispute over who owned his rights between teams in Cameroon initially blocked his transfer to the United States,[3] but in April 2016, Nouhou signed with Seattle Sounders FC 2.[4] He made 24 league appearances and lead the team in minutes played.[2]
Nouhou signed with Seattle Sounders FC on 26 January 2017, earning his first team contract after performing admirably for S2 in 2016, according to General Manager Garth Lagerway.[2] Nouhou scored his first professional goal while loaned down to S2 on 15 April 2017, the second goal in a 2–1 away win over LA Galaxy II.[5]
Nouhou made his Seattle Sounders FC debut on 31 May 2017, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 loss to Columbus Crew.[6]
International career
In February 2017, Nouhou was called up to represent the Cameroon U20s in the 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Zambia.[7] Nouhou made his under-20 debut on 27 February 2017, starting at left back in a 3–1 loss against South Africa in the first group stage game of the tournament.[8]
Nouhou made his debut for the Cameroon national team in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification 2–2 tie with Zambia on 11 November 2017.[9]
