Ghanaian striker Ropapa Mensah has been named to Sofascore’s USL League One Team of the Season, an individual accolade that shines through in a challenging year for Chattanooga Red Wolves SC.

Mensah, 27, was one of the few standout performers for the Red Wolves, despite the team finishing in 11th place in the 2024 USL League One standings. Over 18 appearances, including 14 starts, Mensah contributed a solid nine goals and two assists, showcasing his attacking ability. His performances were a bright spot in an otherwise difficult season for Chattanooga, who ended the campaign with just 18 points from 22 games, equal with last-placed CV Fuego.

Chattanooga’s struggles were highlighted in their final match, a 3-0 loss to Lexington SC, which marked a disappointing end to the season for Mensah and his teammates. However, the striker’s consistent efforts earned him a place in the league’s best XI, a recognition that could lead to potential interest from higher-tier clubs, especially with his contract set to expire on November 30, 2024.

Mensah, who joined Chattanooga in January 2023 from Sporting Kansas City II, has continued to prove his worth in the USL League One and remains a player to watch as his future unfolds.
