Early career

Buchanan was born and raised in Brampton, Ontario and is of Jamaican descent.[2] His father passed away when Buchanan was seven years old.[3] He began playing soccer with Brampton Youth SC, when he was eight.[4] Buchanan won the 2014 IMG Cup with the Mississauga Falcons.[5] At the age of 15 he moved with his best friend and his father and former coach, Chrys Chrysanthou, to Colorado where he joined the USSDA academy Real Colorado.[3]

Buchanan spent two years playing college soccer at Syracuse University between 2017 and 2018, making 33 appearances, scoring 12 goals and tallying 6 assists.[6] After two years with the Orange, Buchanan opted to leave early and signed a Generation Adidas contract with Major League Soccer ahead of the 2019 MLS SuperDraft.[7]

In summer 2018, Buchanan played for League1 Ontario side Sigma FC, making seven appearances and scoring two goals.[8]

During the 2021 season Buchanan's continued good form for the Revolution earned him a nomination to the MLS squad for the 2021 MLS All-Star Game in August 2021.[11]

Club Brugge

In August 2021, Buchanan signed a 3 and a half year deal with Belgian First Division A champions Club Brugge.
