Rob Vincent (born 26 October 1990) is an English footballer currently playing for D.C. United in Major League Soccer.
Vincent spent time with Everton and Crewe Alexandra as a youth from 1997–2000 and 2000–2005, respectively. At age 17 he was watched by scouts from the England setup. He played for the youth academy from 2005 to 2009, contributing eight goals until injury in pre-season 2008. At the end of his youth contract, he was not offered a professional contract, and moved on to study for a degree while playing college soccer in the United States.
Vincent played for the University of Charleston where he was named the 2009 WVIAC Freshman of the Year. He became a team captain for the Golden Eagles in the 2010 season. During his time at UC, Vincent was part of a team that won 4 consecutive conference titles, and went to the NCAA Division II National Tournament on 3 occasions. In his time at UC, he scored 9 goals in each of his 4 years; a total of 36 career goals as well as 25 assists. Vincent won Conference Player of the Year honours in 2010 and 2012. He also was named as a Division II All-American in each of his four years at UC.
Vincent signed with the West Virginia Chaos of the USL Premier Development League, the fourth level of the United States soccer pyramid, in 2010 after an impressive freshman campaign at UC. However, he struggled with injury for much of the season and only played in 7 games, contributing 2 goals.
He returned to the Chaos for the 2011 season, this time as the youngest team captain in the franchise history. He played every minute of the 16 league games, scoring 9 goals and adding 6 assists along the way.
In 2012, he trained with Michigan Bucks before transferring to Carolina Dynamo, also of the PDL. In his one season with the club, Vincent played a total of 72 minutes in two appearances.
