24-year-old brings experience from A-League, most recently competed for AC Ajaccio in France’s Ligue 2


New FC Tulsa signing Al Hassan Toure has recorded seven goals and eight assist in the Australia A-League prior to competing in Europe.

TULSA, Okla. – FC Tulsa announced on Friday it had signed forward Al Hassan Toure, adding the Australian Olympian as the side looks to continue its strong start to the 2025 USL Championship season. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

Toure arrives in Tulsa having most recently competed for French Ligue 2 side AC Ajaccio, where he made his debut in the Coupe de France. In addition to featuring for Ajaccio, Toure also competed for the club’s reserve team, where he recorded three goals in seven appearances since the start of the 2024-25 season.

Prior to moving to France, Toure had a career-best season with Macarthur FC in the Australian A-League, where he scored eight goals and six assists in 28 games. His blend of pace, power and international experience is expected to add an explosive dimension to an FC Tulsa side already off to a hot start in 2025.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Al Hassan to FC Tulsa,” said Tulsa Sporting Director and General Manager Caleb Sewell. “Al Hassan is a player of exceptional quality, with the kind of attacking threat that can change matches. His speed, vision and clinical finishing make him a constant danger, and we have no doubt that Al Hassan's presence on the field will make a significant impact. We look forward to watching him contribute to our success in 2025.”

Born in Conakry, Guinea, and raised in South Australia from the age of four, Toure burst onto the scene with Croydon FC in the suburbs of Adelaide at just 16, with his breakout moment coming with his hometown club, Adelaide United. Toure tallied eight goals in 17 appearances with the youth side before making the leap to the A-League, where he notched two goals across 30 senior appearances between 2019 and 2021.

Toure’s performance in the 2019 FFA Cup put him on the map as he scored scored on his First Team debut, bagged a brace in the Round of 16 and netted again in the quarterfinals to power Adelaide United through the tournament. Then, in the Cup Final, Toure delivered on the biggest stage – scoring the opener in a 4-0 rout of Melbourne City and earning the Mark Viduka Medal as the match’s most outstanding player.

The run earned him a spot with Australia’s U-23 national team, where he scored in his debut against China and played a key role in the squad’s qualification for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics – the country’s first Olympic appearance in men’s soccer in 12 years. Toure found the net again in a crucial AFC U-23 quarterfinal match against Syria and helped seal Olympic qualification in the third-place match.

Toure continued lighting up the A-League with Macarthur FC from 2021–23, leading the club to its first-ever Australian Cup title in 2022. He finished as the tournament’s top scorer in the Final Round with five goals.

In 2023, he took his talents to Europe, joining Turkey’s TFF First League where he spent time with both Eyüpspor Kulübü and Şanlıurfaspor on loan before joining AC Ajaccio in France.
