San Diego FC have acquired defender Oscar Verhoeven on loan from the San Jose Earthquakes through the 2025 season, the Western Conference clubs announced Monday.

In return for the 18-year-old US youth international, the Earthquakes receive $100,000 in 2025 General Allocation Money (GAM). The deal has a purchase option in exchange for 2026 GAM and a sell-on percentage.

The right back has played nine times for San Jose's first team, in addition to 36 matches with their MLS NEXT Pro affiliate. He represented the US at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

"We’re pleased to welcome Oscar to San Diego as we continue to add competition to our group," said SDFC sporting director Tyler Heaps.

"He is a high potential fullback and strong competitor that we believe will benefit from being in our environment as he continues to develop."

In San Diego, Verhoeven joins Willy Kumado and Jasper Löffelsend on the expansion club's depth chart. They also have 18-year-old left back Luca Bombino on loan from LAFC, alongside Franco Negri and Hamady Diop.
