Career

Whitecaps FC 2

Amanda signed his first professional contract with Whitecaps FC 2 on March 31, 2017, having been with the Whitecaps academy since he was 15.[1][2] In May 2017, Amanda was named to the Whitecaps roster for the 2017 Canadian Championship on a short term contract.[3] He would spend one season with Whitecaps FC 2 before the club ceased operations after the 2017 season.[4] Rather than sign a USL deal with the Whitecaps new affiliate, Fresno FC, Amanda would elect to evaluate playing opportunities in college.[5]

Lane United FC

While playing for Oregon State, Amanda would sign with Lane United FC of the Premier Development League for the 2018 season.[6]

Personal

Amanda was born in the Nyarugusu refugee camp, before his family moved to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada when he was 8 years old.[7] His younger brother, Prince, is also a professional soccer player currently with FC Edmonton.
