Ghanaian defender Morrison Agyemang has taken a significant step forward in his career after securing promotion to the senior squad of Charlotte FC on a long-term contract.
The promising 21-year-old has signed a deal that will keep him at the Major League Soccer side until June 2029, with the club also retaining an option to extend the agreement for an additional year. Agyemang joins the first team from Crown Legacy FC, Charlotte’s reserve side, where he made a strong impression last season.
With the move, the young defender will occupy an international roster slot for Charlotte FC during the 2026 MLS campaign.
“Morrison is an incredibly talented, athletic and hard-working defender who has really impressed us during this year’s preseason, following strong performances with Crown Legacy last year,” said Charlotte FC General Manager Zoran Krneta.
“He will add depth to our already strong backline this season and will have the ability to closely learn from our more experienced players. We’re proud to identify and develop another high-potential prospect with Crown Legacy and move them through our Pro Player Pathway.”
Agyemang only arrived in the United States in July 2025 after completing a move from Croatian outfit HNK Šibenik. He quickly adapted to life with Crown Legacy, establishing himself as an important defensive figure for the side.
Before moving to Europe, the defender featured for Ghanaian club Cheetah FC.
His impressive performances during Charlotte FC’s 2026 preseason further strengthened his case for a senior team opportunity, ultimately convincing the club’s technical staff to hand him a permanent promotion.
Now part of the first-team setup, Agyemang will look to continue his development while competing for minutes alongside the more experienced defenders in Charlotte FC’s backline.
