Youth and college

[edit]

Suber is formerly of the Charlotte Independence academy. He then played in college for the Charlotte 49ers.[2] He won the Defensive Player of the Week on multiple occasions.[3] He scored his first goal in the 2021 season nine games in.[4] Suber helped Charlotte to an explosive 5–0 win over the Winthrop Eagles, putting in a good defensive performance while also scoring from the penalty spot. The same happened against Detroit Mercy Titans, scoring a penalty and playing good defensively.[5][6] Suber wore the captain's armband during his time with Charlotte.[7] Following a successful 2023 season, Suber was drafted during the 2023 MLS SuperDraft by Nashville SC.[8][9][10]

Professional

[edit]

After being drafted by Nashville, he was listed as a player for the MLS Next Pro affiliate to Nashville, Huntsville City FC.[11] Suber made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Crown Legacy FC.[12] Suber did well in the final game of the season to provide an assist to Nebiyou Perry, though this game ended as a 2–2 draw with Chicago Fire FC II.[13]

Suber joined USL Championship team Pittsburgh Riverhounds on January 19, 2024, along with Pierre Cayet.[14][15] He made his debut against New Mexico United in the 1–0 loss.[16] Suber scored his first goal for the club in the 5–0 win over Oakland Roots, heading home a Bradley Sample cross.[17][18] In the 2025 USL Championship playoffs, Suber scored the winning penalty for the Riverhounds against Hartford Athletic.[19]
