Franics AtuaheneGhanaian striker Francis Atuahene has signed a one-year contract with USL Championship side Memphis 901 FC.The club announced the signing of 24-year-old on Wednesday pending league and federation approval.Atuanhene will join Kyle Murphy, Roland Lamah and Michael Salazar in attack for Memphis 901 FC this season.”Francis is a talented, dynamic attacker who likes to drive at defenders. His explosiveness with the ball and understanding of the league will make him a valuable addition to our roster this year,” James Roeling Assistant Sporting Director said.In the 2018 MLS SuperDraft, Atuahene was selected fourth overall by FC Dallas.While the forward would score less than a minute into his MLS debut, that would be the only time he would see the pitch with Dallas as the Ghanaian would spend the majority of his young career on loan spells in the USL Championship.Soon after arriving in Dallas, Atuahene was loaned to the Oklahoma City Energy in March 2018.In eight appearances with Oklahoma City, the attacker found the back of the net twice. After returning to Dallas, Atuahene was again loaned out, this time to Austin Bold FC in 2019, where he would score once in ten appearances.On his final loan from Dallas, Atuahene scored twice in 12 appearances with the San Diego Loyal SC in 2020.
