Caleb Ryan Wiley (born December 22, 2004) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Premier League club Chelsea and the United States national team.[2]

Club career

[edit]

Atlanta United

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Wiley joined the Atlanta United academy at the age of 11, just before the professional outfit began their inaugural Major League Soccer season,[3] and was heavily involved with the club up until his debut with Atlanta United 2 in 2020. In 2018, Wiley served as a ball boy as Atlanta defeated the Portland Timbers in the 2018 MLS Cup final.[4]

In July 2020, Wiley made his professional debut with Atlanta's USL Championship affiliate, appearing in a 2–1 defeat to the Tampa Bay Rowdies.[5]

Professional

[edit]

On January 18, 2022, Wiley signed a homegrown player contract with Atlanta United.[6][7] In February, he made his MLS debut against Sporting Kansas City, scoring late in Atlanta's 3–1 victory.[8] With the team suffering from a number of injuries, Wiley found himself moving up the depth chart, finishing the 2022 season with 26 league appearances to his name.[9]

In February 2023, Wiley was named amongst American Soccer Now's top 20 young Americans to watch during the 2023 Major League Soccer season.[10] It didn't take Wiley long to live up to those expectations, scoring twice and providing an additional assist in Atlanta's week three victory over Charlotte FC.[11] At 18 years and 79 days of age, he became the fifth-youngest player in league history to contribute to three goals in a single game.[12] As a result of that performance, he was named to the league's Team of the Matchday for week three[13] and was named Player of the Week.[14]

Chelsea

[edit]

On July 22, 2024, Premier League club Chelsea announced the signing of Wiley on a six-year contract.[15]

International career

[edit]

In early 2020, Wiley, alongside Atlanta United Academy teammate Efrain Morales, was called up to the United States U17 squad for a UEFA Development Tournament taking place in England.[16] He made his youth international debut on February 19, 2020, playing the entirety of a 2–1 defeat to Spain.[17] In November 2021, at just 16 years of age, he was called up to the United States U20 roster.[18]

On April 19, 2023, Wiley made his senior national team debut in a 1–1 draw in a friendly against Mexico.[19]

On October 8, Wiley was called up to the United States under-23 national team ahead of friendlies against Mexico and Japan.[20]
