TULSA, Okla. – FC Tulsa announced on Friday the club had acquired defender Owen Damm from fellow USL Championship club Louisville City FC for the remainder of the 2024 season. Damm will be available for selection this Saturday as Tulsa visits the Tampa Bay Rowdies at Al Lang Stadium.
Damm has made five appearances in the USL Championship for LouCity, including four appearances last season which included his first start for the club in league play. Additionally, the 20-year-old made 16 appearances on loan with Northern Colorado Hailstorm FC during the 2022 USL League One season where he logged almost 1,000 minutes of play in his first professional season.
“We are excited to have Owen join us,” said Tulsa Head Coach Maria Sanchez. “Owen brings valuable experience from his time with LouCity and the Hailstorm. Owen is a versatile defender who can play in position in the back four. He has great athleticism and technical ability.”
“I am grateful for this opportunity to play for a club like FC Tulsa and I am looking forward to helping FC Tulsa reach their goal of making the playoffs this season.” said Damm.
Prior to joining the LouCity Academy, Damm was recognized as one of the top youth talents in Louisville. In his final season at Woodford County High School, he recorded 48 goals in 19 appearances and was voted to the All-State List on three occasions.
