Youth career

Amon played three seasons with the U.S. Soccer Development Academy in Charleston, South Carolina, before getting selected to the U.S. Soccer U15 National Team Camp in 2014.

While in Denmark, Scout Nielsen took him to tryouts at two clubs (Brøndby IF and FC Nordsjælland) and he grew to like the student and training environment at the KIES School, where the camp was held, and Scout Kenn helped him to enroll KIES. Soon after, Søren Krogh (teacher at Kies and assistant coach with FC Nordsjælland) offered Amon the opportunity to join FC Nordsjælland academy U17 team. In May 2017, Amon signed his first professional contract with FCN.
