Memphis, TENN. - Memphis 901 FC announced on Thursday the club has signed forward Neco Brett to a multi-year contract, pending league and federation approval. Brett ranks third on the USL Championship All-Time Goal Scorer list with 85 goals in over 200 career appearances.

"We are delighted to welcome Neco to Memphis," Assistant Sporting Director Caleb Patterson-Sewell. "Neco is a proven goal scorer at this level and brings a wealth of experience. Throughout our discussions we learned a lot more about Neco, his desire to win a championship and what he brings in terms of mentality. We are getting a driven player looking for another big season and we are delighted it is with us."
