Ropapa Mensah is someone we have been watching for the last 2 seasons so signing him the Red Wolves gives us a good chance to continue our goal production for 2023. We are very pleased to have him in the team.”
Head Coach Ziggy Korytoski raved about the signing saying, “I’m thrilled that Ropapa is joining the Red Wolves and can’t wait for him to get started.
He’s a player that comes to us with lots of experience, he’s got good speed, he’s powerful, has good feet and a knack for scoring goals. I believe he’s going to be extremely dangerous for us in front of goal with the weapons we have and their ability to service him.”
On joining the Red Wolves, Mensah said “I hope to excel here coming back from an injury, and I hope to help the club win a USL League One Title.”
Ropapa went on to say to the fans, “I’m excited to play exciting soccer with the club this season in Chattanooga!”
