The defender made over 54 appearances for Nashville during its first professional season and will be remembered for scoring the club's first ever goal against Atlanta last year.

Memphis Head Coach Tim MulQueen says his new signing is 'a fierce competitor with great experience' whose intensity will be 'infectious to our group.'

The Manxman's inclusion to 901's roster is depends on league and federation approval.
