HARTFORD, Conn. – Hartford Athletic announced on Wednesday it had signed Prince Saydee ahead of the 2022 USL Championship season, bringing the Liberian forward to the club to add to its attacking corps. The signing is pending league and federation approval.

“Prince is going to be a fan favorite,” said Athletic Head Coach Harry Watling. “He’s a pacy and explosive attacking wide player. Any time he touches the ball, fans will be on the edge of their seats. I’m very excited to have him in our squad.”

Saydee began his professional career as a 17-year-old with Barrack Young Controllers FC in 2013. The winger scored 23 goals in 47 appearances for the Liberian first-division side before coming to the United States in 2019. The 25-year-old joined Miami FC for the 2020 Championship season where he led the team with three assists in 11 appearances, while also recording one goal and 13 key passes. Most recently, he played for Phoenix Rising FC, where he recorded one goal and one assist this past campaign.

“I am very happy to be part of Hartford Athletic,” said Saydee. “Coach Watling has a clear plan for me and my abilities that will help make me the best player I can be. I look forward to getting to work with him and helping this club get back to the playoffs.”
