That club became North Carolina FC Youth, where he played at the U-14 level.[2] He signed an academy contract with North Carolina FC of the USL Championship on April 4, 2019.[3] He made his debut for North Carolina FC in a friendly against Club Necaxa on March 23, 2019.[4] He signed a second academy contract with North Carolina FC on January 17, 2020.[5]
Professional
On July 2, 2020, Armour signed with 1. FC Nürnberg in the German 2. Bundesliga.[6] The following summer, on June 29, 2021, Armour signed with Charlotte FC of MLS.[7]
On July 17, 2021, Armour moved on loan to USL Championship side Charlotte Independence for the remainder of their 2021 season.[8]

On April 20, 2022, Armour tore the lateral and medial meniscus in his left knee.[10] This was after discovering weeks earlier that he had no functioning anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. His knee was surgically repaired, after which Armor went into a year-long rehab.
Armour was waived by Charlotte on April 27, 2023.[11] He subsequently joined USL Championship side FC Tulsa for the remainder of the 2023 season.[12] On July 31, 2023 Armour suffered a season ending injury to his knee.[13]
He spent the entirety of 2024 without a club before joining Eintracht Nordhorn in Landesliga Weser-Ems, the sixth tier of German professional football, in February of 2025.[14][15] He helped Nordhorn achieve promotion from the Landesliga Weser-Ems during his time there, appearing in 11 matches.[16]
On February 20, 2026, Armour signed for USL League One side Portland Hearts of Pine on a performance-based contract.[16] He made his debut for the club on March 15, 2026, coming on as a substitute in a 3−1 win over New York Cosmos.

Armour was called up to the United States men's national under-17 soccer team in April 2018 and made his international debut in a game against India.[2] He played a total of 19 games with the team, including in the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[17]
