One Knoxville SC new signing Innocent Nshuti has said that he is not feeling pressure as he continues to settle for life at the American third tier side.

The Rwanda international was on target on his debut appearance for One Knoxville who played out a 2-2 draw in a friendly match against Chattanooga Red Wolves on February 25.

It had been less than a week since he joined the club from APR FC.

The 26-year-old told Times Sport that he is smoothly getting used to a new environment and new teammates, adding that it will not take him much time to adapt to life at his new club.

"Talking about pressure, there is no pressure at all. Everyone is pulling in the same direction and they are good guys,” Nshuti told Times Sport.

"I am looking forward to challenges and I am happy to be here. We have a great fan base, very supportive, and am looking forward to the new season and better things with the guys,” he added.

Nshuti, who helped APR to four straight league titles, will be tasked to boost One Knoxville’s attack and he said he is up for the task.

Nshuti has also established himself as an important figure in Frank Spittler’s national team. He was on target as Rwanda stunned South Africa 2-0 during a 2026 World Cup qualifier held at Huye Stadium at Huye Stadium in November 2023.

Times Sport understands that he was also summoned in the squad that will play international friendlies with Madagascar.
