BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Birmingham Legion FC announced on Thursday it had reached an agreement with Sweden's GIF Sundsvall to acquire forward Ronaldo Damus on loan for the 2025 USL Championship season.

The deal for the prolific 25-year-old forward includes an option to purchase. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

“We are really excited to add Ronaldo to our roster," Legion FC President and General Manager Jay Heaps said. "He is a proven goal scorer and a player that has helped win championships. He will be a critical piece to our attack as we continue to build for 2025.”

Damus is no stranger to finding the back of the net in USL Championship play with 47 goals in 99 appearances across three seasons in the league. His most recent exploits occurred this past season with Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC where his team-high 14 goals in regular season and postseason play ranked sixth in the league. Damus was among the scorers as the Switchbacks took a 3-0 win over Rhode Island FC in the 2024 USL Championship Final to capture the club's first title.

After beginning his professional career with Real Hope FA in his native-Haiti, Damus made the move to America in 2019 to play for then-USL League One side North Texas SC where he tallied 21 goals and eight assists in 35 appearances over two seasons. Other stops include a jump up to the Championship with Orange County SC in 2021, followed by a transfer to GIF Sundsvall in 2022 and ensuing loans to San Diego Loyal SC and Colorado Springs in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Having made his senior international debut in 2016, Damus has earned eight caps with the Haiti Men's National Team with his most recent appearance coming last October in Concacaf Nations League play against Aruba.
