Prince Saydee has completed a move to Charlotte Independence from Westchester SC, joining the USL League One side on a free transfer. The Liberian‑American left winger arrives with a current market value of €100k and transitions directly within the same division, strengthening Charlotte’s attacking options on the flank.
The transfer from Westchester SC to Charlotte Independence is confirmed as a standard free transfer, with the deal officially recorded to start on 2026-02-02. Contract expiry details have not been disclosed, leaving open the possibility that Saydee could become a free agent at the end of his current agreement if no extension is triggered.
Saydee, 32, brings extensive experience across the American lower-league landscape, having featured for multiple US clubs over the past several years. Before his short spell at Westchester SC, he played for Charleston Battery and Rhode Island FC, following a productive period with Hartford Athletic and Phoenix Rising FC. Earlier in his U.S. career he turned out for Miami FC and Atlanta SC, after leaving Liberia where he played for LISCR FC, Barrack Young Controllers, and Invincible Eleven.
Primarily an attack-minded left winger who prefers his left foot, Saydee has been deployed consistently in advanced wide roles. His profile as a direct, experienced wide player fits Charlotte Independence’s need for creativity and penetration from the flanks in USL League One. The move also continues a long-running pattern in his career: leaving Liberian clubs for opportunities in the United States and remaining in American competition rather than returning to his home country.
Born in Monrovia and holding both Liberian and United States nationality, Saydee represents the growing group of dual‑nationals who have built substantial careers in the U.S. lower tiers. His market value trajectory, which once peaked at around €300k during his Hartford Athletic days and now stands at €100k, reflects both his longevity and the natural ageing curve of an attacker in his thirties, while still marking him out as a meaningful acquisition at USL1 level.
The confirmed switch also underlines the stability of his recent career phase. Since 2019 he has remained in the United States, moving step by step through various clubs and now adding Charlotte Independence to a résumé that spans multiple USL environments. With his contract details undisclosed beyond the official start date of 2026-02-02, Charlotte retain flexibility, and Saydee’s medium‑term status will depend on his impact in the upcoming campaigns.
For Charlotte Independence, this is a low‑risk, potentially high‑value signing: no transfer fee, a clearly defined positional profile, and a winger seasoned across different American clubs and competitions. For Saydee, it is another chapter in a career firmly anchored in the United States, consolidating his role in USL League One and extending the journey that began in Liberia and has long since been rooted abroad.
