Babacar Diene, of Thies, Senegal signed for Knoxville in 2025.

Diene spent two seasons at Rider University where he scored 16 goals and contributed 5 assists in 37 games that led to his opportunity in the USL Championship where he signed his first professional contract at the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.

Diene featured in 24 games for the USL Championship in the 2024 season before signing for One Knox ahead of 2025. He made his debut for the Club away at Spokane Velocity in March 2025 in the USL League One before he scored his first goal for the Club just 3 days later in the US Open Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
