Defender Rashid Tetteh has reacted to completing his move to USL Championship side FC Tulsa.
According to Tetteh, he is happy to join the club and his aim for the season is to win the championship.
“I’m so excited to start this 2023 Season in this beautiful state,” said Tetteh.
“Leaving my family and former team was not a decision I took lightly, but I felt like Tulsa was where I needed to be. The goal for this season is to help take us to the league championship and be part of a brick-wall defense,"
"When I was approached with the opportunity to play for Tulsa it was a no brainer to make the move because of their commitment to the fans and community. I look forward to the coming season and can’t wait to get on the field!”
Tetteh played with the Panthers from 2015 to 2018 while attending High Point University, where he began his professional career in New Mexico. Tetteh established himself as a standout performer in the Big South Conference by earning spots on the Big South First Team All-Conference team in 2018, co-Defensive Player of the Year accolades in the Big South in 2017, and All-Big South Second Team recognition in 2016.
Tetteh also played while at High Point for the Carolina Dynamo for two brief periods in USL League Two in 2016 and 2017, then for the Des Moines Menace in 2018.
Tetteh will be an option for Blair Gavin when FC Tulsa goes to Miami this weekend to face Miami FC in the first game of the 2023 season.
