Port-au-Prince, Haiti- The Haitian Football Federation announced their World Cup roster on Friday. One of the nine attackers is Frantzdy Pierrot, who played two seasons at Melrose High School.
Pierrot is a forward for Haiti and led the team in scoring during the Gold Cup last fall. He now plays in the professional soccer league in Turkey, for a team called Rizespor.
Melrose High Soccer Coach Dean Serino says that Pierrot played two seasons at Melrose before joining an academy. Pierrot went on to play in college at Northeastern University for two years. He then transferred to Coastal Carolina. Pierrot has played for clubs in Belgium, France, Greece and Turkey since then. Pierrot has played overseas for several years.
He’s faced some of the world’s best players during his career. One of his teams faced PSG in the Champions League. Pierrot was going up against world-class attackers like Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar.
It’s no surprise that Pierrot made the roster. He has been one of the team’s most consistent scorers over the past two years. His former coach told us last winter he’s not surprised at his former player’s success.
