MEMPHIS, Tennessee - Memphis 901 FC announced on Wednesday the re-signing of midfielder and team captain Leston Paul for the 2022 USL Championship Season pending league and federation approval.
"Leston is the only remaining player that has been with this Club since day one and is our Club's fearless leader," said Head Coach Ben Pirmann. "He epitomizes what it means to 'Defend Memphis', gives everything he has day in and day out and is a tremendous example to the rest of this team."
