LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Louisville City FC announced on Friday it had signed midfielder Zach Duncan ahead of the 2025 USL Championship season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

Duncan joins LouCity having spent the past campaign with Memphis 901 FC, where he made 34 appearances across the regular season and playoffs. Duncan recorded one goal and one assist while also completing 35 dribbles at a 57.4 percent success rate, and defensively won 48 tackles at a 69.6 percent success rate while making 53 interceptions and 145 recoveries.

“Zach was one of the first central midfield targets we identified in 2024 as a player that we felt would be a great fit for how we want to play,” said LouCity Head Coach Danny Cruz. “After our interviews, it was clear to me that he would be an excellent fit both on the field and in the locker room. We spent a lot of time discussing culture and expectation that comes with playing for this club, and I know that he is looking forward to being a part of it.

“Zach brings us another strong physical presence in the middle of the field and has a great ability to read the game with the ball. He is relentless in his pressure and understands the physical demands that need to be met here at Louisville City. I am looking forward to getting him integrated to the group as we push toward the 2025 season.”

A product of Australian club Brisbane Roar’s youth system, Duncan brings youth international experience to LouCity. He made seven appearances for Australia’s Under-23 national team, helping the squad win the 2019 Dazu Cup in China.

Duncan signed with Memphis after four years with Danish club AGF Aarhus, where he joined in 2019 and made 24 league appearances over his first three years there before injuries limited his playing time in 2023. He also spent the 2022-23 season on loan with Australia’s Perth Glory, scoring once in 24 games.

“I’m excited to join Louisville City and can’t wait to start working with my new teammates and all the staff,” said Duncan. “I’m ready to give my all to the club and the fans as we work toward achieving great things together. Let's bring the championship to where it belongs!"
