Nouhou Tolo (/ˈnuːhuː ˈtoʊloʊ/; born June 23, 1997), known mononymically as Nouhou, is a Cameroonian footballer who plays as a left back for Seattle Sounders FC in Major League Soccer.[1]

Club career

Nouhou began his career in 2015 with Rainbow Bamenda, where he played for one season. A contract dispute over who owned his rights between teams in Cameroon initially blocked his transfer to the United States,[2] but in April 2016, Nouhou signed with Seattle Sounders FC 2.[3] He made 24 league appearances and lead the team in minutes played.[1]

Nouhou signed with Seattle Sounders FC on January 26, 2017, earning his first team contract after performing admirably for S2 in 2016, according to General Manager Garth Lagerway.[1] Nouhou scored his first professional goal while loaned down to S2 on April 15, 2017, the second goal in a 2–1 away win over LA Galaxy II.[4]

Nouhou made his Seattle Sounders FC debut on May 31, 2017, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 loss to Columbus.[5]

International career

In February 2017, Nouhou was called up to represent the Cameroon U20s in the 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Zambia.[6] Nouhou made his under-20 debut on February 27, 2017, starting at left back in a 3–1 loss against South Africa in the first group stage game of the tournament.[7]

Nouhou made his debut for the Cameroon national football team in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification 2-2 tie with Zambia on 11 November 2017.[8]
