Suber is formerly of the Charlotte Independence academy. He then played in college for the Charlotte 49ers.[1] He won the Defensive Player of the Week on multiple occasions.[2] He scored his first goal in the 2021 season nine games in.[3] 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.[4][5] Suber wore the captain's armband during his time with Charlotte.[6] Following a successful 2023 season, Suber was drafted during the 2023 MLS SuperDraft by Nashville SC.[7][8][9]

Professional

[edit]

After being drafted by Nashville, he was listed as a player for the MLS Next Pro affiliate to Nashville, Huntsville City FC.[10] Suber made his debut in a 1–1 draw against Crown Legacy FC.[11] 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.[12]

Suber joined USL Championship team Pittsburgh Riverhounds on January 19, 2024, along with Pierre Cayet.[13][14] He made his debut against New Mexico United in the 1–0 loss.[15] Suber scored his first goal for the club in the 5-0 win over Oakland Roots, heading home a Bradley Sample cross.[16][17]
