FRISCO, Texas (March 7, 2025) – North Texas SC has signed defender Mohamed Cisset to a one-year MLS NEXT Pro professional contract with a club option for 2026.
“Mo is a talented left-sided defender that brings a lot of ability on the ball and aggressiveness without it,” North Texas SC head coach John Gall said. “He’s a leader, somebody you can count on, and someone we targeted in the MLS draft. At his young age, he brings a lot of maturity and a competitive edge that is pivotal in his position.”
The Montreal native was drafted No. 71 overall by FC Dallas in the 2025 MLS SuperDraft and appeared in multiple preseason matches. During his collegiate career, he registered 31 appearances, logged 2,125 minutes, and scored one goal with the Penn State Nittany Lions over two seasons. He played four years at Montverde Academy in Florida in the SIMA program at the high school level.
Cisset represented Mali at the 2024 Paris Olympics, playing against Japan and Paraguay. He has earned three caps for Mali’s U23 national team.
