Early life

In 2022, he transferred to

NCAA.[6] On 23 October 2022, he scored his first goal in a victory over the Georgia Southern Eagles.[7] Ahead of the 2023 season, he was named to the Preseason All-Sun Belt Conference Team and named team captain.[8][3] At the end of the season he was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Year and was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference First Team.[9] He was also named a First Team All-American and finished as a Mac Hermann semifinalist.[10][11] He was also invited to participate in the MLS College Showcase.[12]

Club career

Duggan made his senior debut with FC Ismaning II in 2018 in the Kreisklasse 2.[2]

In 2019, he returned to his former youth club Kirchheimer SC in the Landesliga Bayern-Südost.[13]

In July 2020, he signed with VfR Garching in the fourth tier Regionalliga Bayern.[14]

In July 2021, he returned to Kirchheimer SC briefly, before heading to college in the United States.[15]

At the 2024 MLS SuperDraft, Duggan was selected in the third round (67th overall) by Minnesota United FC.[17][18] He initially missed the start of training camp with the club, due to visa issues, but was eventually able to arrive.[19][20] In February 2024, he signed a one-year contract with the club, with club options for the next three seasons.[21]
