Cyle Larin (born April 17, 1995) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a forward for Orlando City in Major League Soccer and the Canadian national team.
Having played college soccer for the Connecticut Huskies, he was the first pick of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft, joining Orlando City. In his first MLS season, he broke the record for most goals by a rookie, scoring 17 in 27 games and earning the MLS Rookie of the Year Award.
A full international for Canada since 2014, he represented the nation at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Larin was raised in Brampton, Ontario, Canada and attended St. Edmund Campion Secondary School, where he was the school's top goal scorer for the final three years that he attended.
In 2007, at the age of 11, Larin joined the private soccer academy Sigma FC of the Ontario Soccer League before graduating in 2013. During his time at Sigma FC, Larin travelled to Europe for training periods with Werder Bremen, Hertha Berlin and Wolfsburg in Germany, as well as Racing Genk and Club Brugge in Belgium twice. About the striker, Sigma FC Technical Director Bobby Smyrniotis said, "Cyle is a rare player to find in Canada...a complete and modern striker able to play with both feet, finish from all areas, dominate his region of the park and provide for his teammates."
