Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>U.S Championship club, Indy Eleven has announced the signing of Sierra Leonean forward Augustine Williams, who last player Charleston Battery in 2023.<\/b><\/p>\n

As per policy, the terms of the deal has not been disclosed, and his status is pending league and federation approval.<\/p>\n

The (6-2, 185) lethal striker led Charleston in goals for the second consecutive season in 2023, posting 15, while adding three assists, to help Charleston to its first league Final appearance in club history.<\/p>\n

During the Battery\u2019s playoff run, Williams notched a pair of goals, including the match winner in the Conference Finals against Louisville City, and added an assist. His 2023 tally contributes to 66 total USLC regular season goals (10th), making him one of two 2024 Boys in Blue in the league\u2019s all-time top 10.<\/p>\n

The Sierra Leone native spent three seasons (2019-21) as part of the LA Galaxy organization, which included seven matches as part of the first team in 2021. In 51 matches as part of the USL Championship\u2019s Galaxy II squad, Williams tallied 20 goals and four assists. During that stretch Williams was loaned to San Diego Loyal SC where he scored six goals and dished out three assists in only 12 games.<\/p>\n

During the reign of the gaffer, John Kiester, William was last featured for Sierra Leone against the Wild Dogs of Guinea Bissau in the 2023 AFCON Qualifiers.<\/p>\n
