A through line in Kyle’s life is family. He began his soccer journey at a club his uncle started, made the long commutes Via @MNUFC on X

What happened: Duncan began at a club founded by his uncle and later played in Europe near a cousin. The 28-year-old is under contract through December 2026, with an option through June 2027.

Why it matters: The option gives his club a decision on extending his stay beyond the current MLS calendar. His eight seasons of league experience provide depth at right back during the regular-season run.

By the numbers: Duncan recorded six goals and 17 assists over 166 appearances and 132 starts across all competitions.

What to watch: Duncan's next personal marker comes Aug. 8, when he turns 29.
