Darius Johnson signs for Phoenix Rising

Sporting Talent client Darius Johnson has made a move from FC Volendam to Phoenix Rising FC, signing a multi-year contract with the USL Championship side. The 24-year-old Grenadian international, who has impressed during his time in the Eredivisie with FC Volendam, will now continue his career in the United States as part of Phoenix Rising’s ambitious squad.

Johnson, known for his dynamic play as a winger and forward, brings with him a wealth of international experience, having represented Grenada at senior level. His versatility in attack, quick pace, and ability to make an impact in the final third have earned him recognition both domestically and internationally. His addition is seen as a major coup for Phoenix Rising, who are looking to strengthen their squad and compete at the top of the USL Championship.

The move marks a new chapter in Darius's career, as he seeks more regular first-team opportunities and aims to showcase his talents in the US, where the competition for places remains intense. Phoenix Rising, a club known for its attacking style of play, will benefit from his ability to stretch defences and create goal-scoring opportunities.

For Darius, this is an exciting step as he joins one of the top teams in the USL, with the added prospect of showcasing his talents on the international stage with Grenada, potentially earning more opportunities with the national team.
