The Red and Whites have strengthened their squad by signing Haitian winger Derrick Etienne Jr. in a transfer deal with Atlanta United FC. This strategic acquisition aims to improve the club’s offensive options as the MLS season gets underway.

The club from the capital of the province of Ontario exchanged $ 200,000 in general allocation until 2025 (GAM) with Atlanta United FC to obtain the services of Derrick Etienne Jr. In addition, Atlanta could receive an additional amount of 175 $000 in conditional GAM, subject to certain player performance. What we were able to read regarding the details of the transfer. It should be added that GAM is a form of currency used in MLS to facilitate transactions between clubs.

Derrick Etienne Jr., 27 years old, will be able to bring considerable experience to the team. With eight seasons in MLS, he has won several titles, including the Supporters’ Shield, MLS Cup and Campeones Cup. His versatility on the pitch as a dynamic winger and his international experience with the Haitian national team make him a valuable addition to Toronto FC.
