He comes to United via a trade with FC Tulsa for forward Brian Brown - the first trade in New Mexico United history.

In 2019, he made his USL Championship debut for El Paso Locomotive FC, scoring 10 goals in his first 10 matches, and finishing with 12 on the season.

Following his successful run in El Paso, Kiesewetter made appearances for Inter Miami CF in the MLS is Back Tournament and 2020 MLS Regular Season.

Kiesewetter has represented the United States in international play at the U-18, U-20, U-23 and Senior levels, totaling 31 international appearances and eight goals, and is the first US international in United's history. He was born in Berlin, Germany, and was brought up in the Hertha BSC youth system. His pro career began in 2012/2013 with VfB Stuttgart, eventually leading to a debut in the Bundesliga in 2015.
