Kyle Renfro joined the Duke men’s soccer staff in August of 2019. An All-ACC goalkeeper at Virginia Tech, Renfro works with the goalkeepers and spearheads Duke’s recruiting efforts.
Renfro helped lead the progress of Eliot Hamill, who emerged in his first season as the starting goalkeeper in 2021. Under Renfro, Hamill earned three ACC Defensive Player of the Week honors, finishing the year with six shutouts and 71 saves.
In his first season on staff, Duke's Will Pulisic ranked third in the ACC in saves per game and tied for fourth in shutouts with six. Behind Renfro's tutelage, Pulisic and the Duke defense held opponents to five shots on goal and 10 shots overall per game.
Renfro came to Duke after spending the 2018 season as a volunteer assistant coach at his alma mater Virginia Tech. During his time with the Hokies, Virginia Tech posted an 11-7-3 overall record, registered five shutouts, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament second round.
Under Renfro’s watch, Hokie goalkeeper Mathijs Swaneveld was among the best in the nation in 2018, leading the league in saves per game and ranking second in save percentage. Nationally, Swaneveld was among the top 40 in both categories.
A 2013 graduate of Virginia Tech, Renfro was a first-team All-ACC selection his senior season after leading the ACC in saves for the third consecutive year. He ranks fourth all-time in school history in saves and shutouts, compiling 14 during his time in Blacksburg. Excellent in the classroom as well, Renfro also garnered conference All-ACC Academic Team honors three times.
After his time at Virginia Tech, Renfro spent time in the professional ranks playing for USL sides Charlotte Eagles and the Charlotte Independence.
Prior to joining the Virginia Tech staff, the Brookville, Virginia native served as an assistant coach at Winthrop University in 2017, where he groomed Eagles’ goalkeeper Kenneth Perkinson to a solid season of 77 saves and three shutouts on the season.
