Transfers to Atlanta Etienne has signed a three-year contract with Atlanta United with the option to extend for two additional years after leaving Columbus as a free agent, the club announced Wednesday...

Impact Etienne made 90 appearances in all competitions during a three-season stint with the Crew, but he really broke out in 2022 as he finished second on the team with nine goals and six assists from the left wing. The 26-year-old is now moving to Atlanta, where he can take over from the departing Ronaldo Cisneros and the teenager Caleb Wiley in the position, though he will still be competing with Marcelino Moreno.

Out of contract with Columbus Etienne's contract with the Crew has run out and he will become a free agent if no new deal is agreed upon by the turn of the calendar year.

Impact Etienne is one of seven Columbus players who do not currently have a contract for 2023, but the club said that it's currently in discussions with "select players" about returning in its end-of-year roster decisions. Etienne finished second on the team in both goals (nine) and assists (six) this season, so he is likely one of the candidates that the Crew would like to keep if they can.

As a result of this his average crosses per game dropped to 1.5 a game. It remains to be seen whether his potential knee injury from Wednesday will force him to miss additional game time.
