Prince Saydee joins the Black and Yellow after joining the club midseason in 2024 following a permanent transfer from Rhode Island FC.
The 31-year-old Liberian featured in 11 matches for Rhode Island across all competitions in 2024 and now makes the move down the East Coast to the defending conference champions.
Saydee enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2023, where he was Hartford Athletic’s top goalscorer with 10 tallies across 32 games. In 2022, Saydee led Hartford in assists with eight, demonstrating his craftiness and effectiveness in all phases of attack. Saydee’s versatility makes him capable of being deployed as a winger, midfielder or forward.
Since 2020, Saydee has scored 16 goals and 15 assists across 108 USL Championship regular season matches with Rhode Island, Hartford, Phoenix Rising FC and Miami FC. Saydee reconnects with former Phoenix teammate Arturo Rodriguez with the Battery.
On the international stage, Saydee has earned three caps for the Liberian national team, featuring in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier and a 2019 AFCON qualifier.
Saydee began his professional career in 2013 with Liberian Premier League side Barrack Young Controllers FC. He scored 23 goals in 47 matches and won four domestic trophies before moving Stateside in 2019.
