Memphis 901 FC added yet another attacking weapon to its roster.
The latest newcomer is Laurent Kissiedou, a native of Divo, Ivory Coast, who plays as an attacking midfielder. And the 22-year-old brings plenty of experience to the squad.
After joining the Atlanta United academy in 2016, he made his first professional appearance during a spell at the USL’s Charleston Battery in 2017. But the bulk of his work has been with Atlanta United 2 since 2018. Over the last two seasons, he made 46 appearances (33 starts) and scored four goals.
“Laurent is a skilled and industrious midfielder with nearly 50 USL Championship appearances at only 22 years of age,” said 901 FC assistant sporting director James Roeling. “He is a fighter on the field, a great human being off it, and will be a valuable addition to the roster and the Memphis 901 FC family.”
Kissiedou will play alongside midfield colleagues Kadeem Dacres, Mitch Guitar, Roland Lamah, and Leston Paul.
