"Richie brings a real hunger and determination that will motivate the squad in this decisive stretch of the season," said Diego Mejía, Head Coach, Atlético Ottawa. "His drive and mentality match the standards we set as a club, and we believe he can give us an important push as we aim to finish strongly. At the same time, he fits into the bigger picture of how we want to build our squad strategically for next season, with an eye beyond that as well."
"This is a new chapter for me, I feel confident I can come into this team and help, while growing as a player," said Richie Ennin, forward, Atlético Ottawa. "This is a great project here, and I'm really excited to be a part of it. I love to get on the ball, create for myself and my teammates, and I love to win. There's a great stadium and atmosphere here in Ottawa. I hope I can show the fans a lot and give them plenty to cheer for."
