Sporting Kansas City announced today that the club has signed Sporting KC II defender Pierre Lurot to a short-term agreement ahead of the club’s home match against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night at Sporting Park. The call up marks the third of four available short-term agreements of the 2026 season for Lurot.
Lurot, 24, is entering his second season with SKC II after joining the club ahead of the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro campaign out of the University of Michigan. The Frenchman made 27 appearances for SKC II during his rookie season, tallying his first professional goal with a late equalizer against North Texas SC on Sept. 14, 2025. Lurot has started and played every minute of SKC II’s opening three matches of the 2026 season, helping the team to their first result last weekend on the road against Rapids 2.
Lurot was part of a Michigan Wolverines side that advanced to the Big Ten Championship final and punched a ticket to the NCAA Tournament in 2024. Lurot previously started his college journey at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri, before transferring to the University of Indianapolis.
Kickoff for the match against the Rapids at Sporting Park is set for 7:30 p.m. CT on Saturday night with the game broadcast on Apple TV, Sports Radio 810 WHB and La Grande 1340 AM. Tickets are available via SeatGeek.com.
