Memphis 901 FC announced on Tuesday that the team has signed goalkeeper Triston Henry on a multi-year deal.
Henry comes to Memphis with a litany of honors. He earned 142 appearances for Forge FC in the Canadian Premier League, and also kept 51 clean sheets with them. He’s been a part of four Canadian Premier League Championships and has also won a pair of Golden Glove Awards. Just last season, Henry led the Canadian Premier League with nine clean sheets in 27 regular season games while conceding the second fewest goals in the league.
“We are delighted to have Triston onboard for the second part of the season,” said Acting Sporting Director Caleb Patterson-Sewell. “He will be another experienced goalkeeper within our goalkeeping group, and we look forward to Triston helping us achieve more success this season.”
Henry was also successful as a junior college goalkeeper, winning consecutive NJCAA national titles in 2012 and 2013 with Herkimer Community College before transferring to UConn and then to Quinnipiac.
The first chance for Memphis fans to catch Triston Henry in action is this Saturday, as the Beale Street Boys return home to AutoZone Park for a match-up against San Antonio FC. Kickoff is set for 7:30pm and the game will also feature post-game fireworks. Tickets are available for sale on the team’s website.
