Memphis 901 FC announced on Wednesday the team has acquired defender Nick DePuy via short-term loan from Huntsville City FC. The 29-year-old defender will join Memphis on loan after singing with Huntsville City, an MLS Next Pro affiliate of Nashville SC, last week.
“We are pleased to welcome Nick to our group,” said Assistant Sporting Director Caleb Patterson-Sewell. “We have a run of games coming up where it makes sense for us to add an experienced professional like Nick to the group. We appreciate our friends in Huntsville working with us to make this happen and look forward to a big contribution from Nick.”
Following his college career at UC-Santa Barbara, DePuy was the 19th pick in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft by the Montreal Impact (now rebranded as CF Montreal). He also has experience playing in the USL Championship, making 26 appearances and scoring two goals for the LA Galaxy II in 2019. Despite missing the 2023 season with an Achilles injury, he spent the prior three seasons with the LA Galaxy of MLS, where he made a total of 59 appearances (47 of which were starts).
901 FC has confirmed that DePuy will be available for selection for the Beale Street Boys this weekend as they hit the road to take on San Antonio FC on Saturday night (8pm on WMC 5.3 and ESPN+). The first home opportunity for Memphians to get out and see him will be on Saturday, June 8 when 901 FC takes on the Colorado Springs Switchbacks at AutoZone Park with kickoff set for 7:30pm.
